The GIANT Room is partnering with Sesame Workshop and MindTrust to co-design SesameStreet.org website with families!
The GIANT Room, an innovation hub for children and their families, is honored to announce a new workshop with one of its previous partners, Sesame Workshop, to co-design the new version of sesamestreet.org website! We are bringing together diverse groups of families with researchers and industry innovators to put learning and wellbeing at the center of product development for these products. Inviting kids ages 3 to 5 and their families to join us for one or multiple sessions of FREE co-design workshops. These in-person two-hour workshops will take place at The GIANT Room offices in the financial district, New York City.
Apply to join this co-design opportunity. As a token of appreciation for your time, families will receive a $50 amazon gift card for joining the session. If selected to participate in the two co-designing workshops, participants will receive an additional $100 amazon gift card for their participation in both sessions.
Participation involves one parent and one child joining the two-hour in person workshop together; siblings are welcome. During the workshop, families will collaborate closely with Sesame Street designers and The GIANT Room team to co-design the next version of Sesame Street digital experiences, with a focus on digital well-being.
The GIANT Room believes the most engaging and effective learning experiences are the ones that are designed with families’ point of view in mind, and even better, those that are designed with children involved in the design process. These co-design partnerships not only provide opportunities for children to meet and build prototypes with real designers from leading media companies, but also make it possible to create learning applications that millions of families around the world can use as an effective learning resource.
Sesame Workshop is the global nonprofit behind Sesame Street and so much more. With a mission to help children everywhere grow smarter, stronger, and kinder, they created joyful experiences that enrich minds and expand hearts since 1969. Today, Sesame reaches families in 190 countries with playful early learning to empower each generation to build a better world.
