AREAS OF DISCUSSION:

* Emerging technologies for children (e.g., innovative educational simulations, online games, accessible fabrication devices, mobile communications devices, wireless embedded technologies, sensors and actuators, smart materials, authoring / programming tools.)

* The impact technologies can have on children's lives (e.g. in schools, homes, and public spaces.)

* New research methods that give children a voice in the design, development, and evaluation processes (e.g., participatory design methods, usability testing, design competitions and classes, innovative programming tools, etc.)

* Special pre-conference workshop on designing technologies for children with disabilities.
