The innovative CHIkids program, now in its third year, has been expanded for CHI
98. CHIkids combines the feeling of summer camp, with the fun of technology, all
as a part of the unique CHI conference experience. The CHIkids program offers an
opportunity for young people to explore computers, technology and user interface
design.
There are two options: the traditional child care option offers children 6 months and older creative, fun-filled, developmentally appropriate activities. The technology option provides children 3 to 15 years of age with four areas of technology exploration: creating multimedia stories in the Multimedia Storytelling area, trying the latest educational multimedia titles in the CD-ROM Field Trips area, testing emerging software technologies with CHI researchers in the Technology Workouts area or being conference reporters using desktop publishing tools and the WWW in the CHIkids Newsroom. All CHIkids activities will be led by KiddieCorp, our experienced childcare facilitators, along with CHI volunteers with experience in technology, kids and fun! Each day children will be able to choose among the various activities. Registration fees range from US$55 to US$70 a day, depending on age, and includes a daily lunch, snack and CHIkids T-shirt. An optional field trip to the California Museum of Science and Industry will be offered on Monday afternoon to CHIkids 9 years or older. An additional fee of US$23 will be charged and space is limited. RegistrationTo register or for more information, please contact KiddieCorp via email, phone or by faxing the form below. Space is limited, and there will be no on-site registration. Therefore, registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis. A waiting list will be formed if all spaces are filled. Waiting list registrants will be notified if space becomes available. Please note: All pre-conference registration requests after 1 March 1998 will be considered on a space available basis.
