The Child-Computer Interaction group at CAVI produces high quality research and interactive prototypes in the areas surrounding the design and evaluation of interactive technologies for children. Our area of research includes children of all ages, and contexts including the home, school, entertainment, and museums. We constantly challenge and develop new methods for engaging children in the design processes, through our existing repertoire of participatory approaches to Interaction Design. In 2014, the Child-Computer Interaction Group at CAVI will host the premier international conference on Interaction Design & Children.
