The 10th International Conference on Interaction Design and Children
June 19-23, 2011
University of Michigan
Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA

This year marks our tenth anniversary, and we are excited to reflect on the past while looking forward to think about new directions in the areas of interaction design and children's technologies.

The primary objectives for IDC 2011 follow the vision and goals put forth for previous IDC conferences: “to understand children’s needs and how to design for them, by presenting and discussing the most innovative research in the field of interaction design for children, by exhibiting the most recent developments in design and design methodologies, and by gathering the leading minds in the field of interaction design for children”.

As we build on the work of previous conferences, we continue to expand the community of researchers in the field within a more focused arena than more general HCI conferences and publication venues to include all work on interaction design and children.

We hope that you can contribute and join us as we examine these and other issues, develop new IDC directions for the next ten years...and have a little fun while we’re at it!
