We’re so excited to announce a brand-new Joan Ganz Cooney Center resource: The Co-Design with Kids Toolkit!

codesignwithkids.org is a practical, interactive resource designed to help organizations meaningfully partner with children throughout the design and development process. The toolkit was created to support developers, designers, educators, researchers, and youth-serving organizations interested in bringing participatory design practices into their work. Whether you’re entirely new to co-design or looking to deepen an existing practice, the toolkit provides concrete strategies, facilitation tips, ethical considerations, and adaptable activities that can be put into practice right away.

Swim on over to codesignwithkids.org today!
