Design Innovative Products with Kids, for Kids
What is Co-Design with Kids?
Co-design with Kids means collaborating with kids throughout the design process of a product. Intended to be used by kids, from requirements gathering to brainstorming to iterative evaluation, Co-design gives kids more power and voice in the design process, and can often lead to surprising, innovative, and effective end-products.
Whether you have never co-designed before, or are well-versed in co-design and seeking new techniques to try, you have come to the right place.
Start with our ‘What is Co-Design?’ page for a brief history and definition of co-design with kids.
