This project explores the innovative journey of designing technology alongside children, highlighting the engaging co-design process. Led by experts from the University of Maryland, the session involved identifying trends, collecting kids' insights, and celebrating the fun of unpredictability. Using case studies from popular media like Nickelodeon, the team emphasized that creativity thrives in randomness and that silly, absurd ideas can lead to powerful outcomes in user experience design. This collaborative effort reveals valuable lessons about engaging with young creators.
