Tangible Embodied Child-Computer Interaction Lab
Director Dr. Alissa N. Antle School of Interactive Arts and Technology Simon Fraser University
About TECI
At TECI we conduct design-oriented research and train the next generation of researchers to design, build and evaluate technical innovations that improve, augment, and support children’s cognitive and emotional development.
In the TECI lab we are committed to working with diverse populations of children, particularly those that may be vulnerable or hard to reach. At TECI we are working to ensure diversity and inclusivity in our team and in our research participants across a range of social, economic, cultural, racial, ethnic, and gender groups.
Primary Research Foci: Design research, tangible interaction, embodied interaction, child-computer interaction
Application Areas: Literacy, social-emotional learning, mindfulness, sustainability education, social justice, aboriginal heritage

Today @idc_acm 2022 @alexandrakitson, on behalf of her co-authors, presented a full paper on the ways in which adolescents reflect, through processes of making their own biowearable, on potential negative impacts of biowearables on their developing senses of identity, agency, autonomy and authenticity. Thank you to Brilliant Labs, our funding agencies - @nserc_crsng + @sshrc + @simonfraseru - and our participants for supporting this project. We appreciate the presentation attendees for coming, listening and asking questions!

Inspired by Alissa N. Antle and Juan Pablo Hourcade’s publication “Research in Child–Computer Interaction: Provocations and envisioning future directions” in the International Journal of Child-Computer Interaction - an industry panel @idc_acm 2022 is currently underway to discuss questions on COVID-19, methodological challenges, participatory design, and long-term responsibility for vulnerable populations. The panel and paper hope to inspire conversation about future research connections in child-computer interaction between industry, non-profits, and academics.
Find the paper at: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212868921000787
Thank you to panelists Samantha Bindman (Director of Research, Foundry10), Randy Gomez (Senior Scientist, Honda Research Institute Japan), Chris Payne (Director, Digital Responsibility, Government and Public Affairs, The Lego Group), and Kiley Sobel (Senior UX Researcher, Duolingo) and the moderators Vicky Charisi (European Commission, JRC, Centre for Advanced Studies) and Jason Yip (The Information School, University of Washington – Seattle) for bringing this conversation to the table.

This season, give the gift of tech literacy — not addiction — along with that device.
Learn more about the positive and unintended negative issues related to children’s technology gifts this holiday season. Insight in this article is provided by Dr. Alissa Antle based on her research insights into children’s technologies, especially concerning (bio) wearable technologies that track and report on ‘progress’.
