Welcome to IDC 2013
This year IDC will be held in New York City in-cooperation with the ACM. The IDC conference’s mission is to bring together researchers, designers and educators to explore new forms of technology, design and engaged learning among children. The conference incorporates papers, presentations, speakers, workshops, participatory design experiences and discussions on how to create better interactive experiences for children. Several of the workshops will also be child-friendly. IDC 2013 will offer a wide-ranging program, supporting and facilitating the exchange of ideas within and between all of these communities, with a special emphasis on supporting interaction and impact for children in at-risk and marginalized populations.
IDC 2013 builds on the strong and dedicated community that has developed around this annual conference for the past 12 years. Recent venues include Bremen, Germany in 2012, Ann Arbor, Michigan (USA) in 2011, Barcelona, Spain in 2010, and Como, Italy in 2009.
IDC 2013 session videos are now posted on the IDC 2013 Video Archive. Download the Conference Program and access papers published in the ACM Digital Library. You may still purchase IDC T-shirts. Stay tuned for IDC 2014 in Aarhus, Denmark, June 17-20, 2014.
