For this work-in-progress presentation, we report on our experiences working
with young children as technology design partners. Our team from the
Human-Computer Interaction Lab has extensive participatory design
experience in working with 7-11 year old children. Here we describe our
first year working with 4-6 year old children and the ways that we
altered our methodologies to meet the unique needs of our younger design
partners.
