Design & Research Competition
Interaction Design and Children
Deadline: 30 April 2016
Manchester, UK, 21-24 June 2016
http://www.idc2016.org/competition/
=============================================
In the first phase of this competition children all over the world were invited to submit their ideas for future technologies. We extracted common themes and interesting concepts to distill three design challenges for the IDC community to work on.
In the second phase we invite researchers and designers to submit a design concept (not actual artefacts) to one of the three challenges in the form of a 2-4 page summary, accompanied by any supplementary files (drawings, sketches, photos, video...) until 30 April 2016.
A jury (tba) will select the best submissions that are
* the most innovative,
* speculate about future technology in interesting ways,
* raise (research) questions for the field, and
* are well designed and presented.
