Goren Gordon, Jamie J. Jirout, Susan Engel, Alicia Chang

Abstract: This half-day IDC 2015 workshop focuses on children's curiosity and how novel digital technologies can help assess and promote it. Our goal is to explore the design, development, use and evaluation of new technologies for this purpose, in terms of: i) challenges in assessing children's curiosity; ii) different evaluation methodologies; iii) design approaches to promotion of curiosity; iv) cognitive and social aspects of curiosity and their interaction with these technologies.
