The Project

This study is led by Professor Lennie Barblett and Dr. Jess Hardley from Edith Cowan University, funded by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child.

Our Aim

We want to explore how children understand digital technologies and imagine the future of digital research. We'd love for your child to be part of this exciting study!

Who Can Participate?

Children aged 3–7 years with a parent, caregiver, or guardian.

What’s Involved?

Join us at the State Library of Western Australia for a fun and interactive session! Your child will take part in short activities, including:
