Description

At the Center for Digital Youth, we are shaping the future of technology for and with youth. Our mission is to ensure that digital experiences empower young people: supporting their learning, well-being, and social development rather than exploiting or harming them.

While many research centers study the effects of technology on youth, the Center for Digital Youth is unique in its integration of multiple disciplines with a strong focus on design-based intervention. Unlike traditional psychology or education research groups, we don’t just study how technology affects young people, we actively build and test solutions in partnership with them.
