PANEL

Children and computing: increasing gender diversity

ABSTRACT:  Inspired by this year’s IDC theme of “Connectedness”, this panel brings together educators from the local communities, child-computer interaction researchers, and members of the European Network For Gender Balance in Informatics (eugain.eu) working on a common cause: to encourage more girls to study and pursue careers in computing.
Participants will discuss initiatives and explore strategies such as targeted activities for primary and secondary school students, mentoring and career programs in academia and industry, etc. to increase the participation of students (particularly those who identify as girls) in the field of computing, reduce their under-representation by gender, and ensure that students who started their studies in computing will thrive, make their voices heard, and complete their studies.

INDUSTRY PANEL 

Industry and Non-profit Research and Connectedness in Child-Computer Interaction HYBRID 

ABSTRACT: For this panel we gathered four researchers from industry (Lego, Duolingo, and Honda Robotics) and non-profits (Foundry10) to have a conversation about child-computer interaction and connectedness. Inspired by Alissa Antle and JP Hourcade’s (2022) work on provocations and envisioning future directions, our panel will focus on questions on COVID-19, methodological challenges, participatory design, and long-term responsibility for vulnerable populations. We hope this conversation spurs ideas about future research connections in child-computer interaction with industry, non-profits, and academics.

• Samantha Bindman – Director of Research, Foundry10
• Randy Gomez – Senior Scientist, Honda Research Institute Japan
• Chris Payne – Director, Digital Responsibility, Government and Public Affairs, The Lego Group
