The GIANT Room, an innovation hub for children and their families, is excited to announce they will be partnering with Lirvana Labs and Joan Ganz Cooney Center from Sesame Workshop to co-design a writing app. Children entering grades 4 and 5 this upcoming school year are invited to apply and join the co-design workshops. Participants who join will receive $25 per session as a token of our appreciation.

Participation entails joining three free, two hour workshops focused on co-designing and playfully brainstorming ideas with designers and industry innovators. Kids who join will have a chance to learn and practice the art of giving and receiving feedback and then to join a prototyping exercise with industry innovators and researchers. Applicants must join all three workshops on August 18th, August 19th, and August 20th from 10am to 12pm. All sessions will be held in person at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
