[ecrea] CFP: Workshop on Interactive Technologies that enhance children’s creativity : from design to fabrication

Sun Mar 17 18:42:23 GMT 2013



CALL FOR PAPERS
International Workshop on Interactive Technologies that enhance children’s creativity : from design to fabrication
June 24, 2013 - New York City, USA
http://itecc.paragraphe.info/

In conjunction with Interaction Design and Children - IDC 2013
http://www.idc2013.org<http://www.idc2013.org/>


This workshop aims at promoting the discussion on interactive technologies that enhance children’s creativity. Questions of interest include, but are not limited to: what is creativity in the first place, and how to design, develop and evaluate technologies that enrich children’s expressive power, as well as abilities to think “laterally” (out of the box). We seek contribution on the design of tools that encourage young people to explore differently their environment, to capture their experience of the world, to crystallize and transform these occurrences in a creative way.
This full-day workshop will bring together researchers, designers, artists who share a common interest in understanding the challenges of designing technological tools and digitally mediated environments to expand the creativity of young people. In the workshop, we are interesting in projects that focus on emerging forms/modes/media/genres of appropriation/production/ distribution of ideas and creations.
Contributions can be theoretical, methodological, technological, and practical, in particular discussing case studies that rely on creativity targeting children.
