Event Details

The mobile revolution has not only changed the tools of play; it's changed the rules.

From toddlers to tweens to twenty-somethings, life is an ebook, ready to upload. Kids can—and do—play, connect, and communicate 24/7. The kind of device they own is secondary; a keyboard and fingers are really all they need. The rest is just i-candy.

Sandbox Summit will make sense of what this real-time technology is teaching our kids. And what their usage is teaching us. Come hear the latest research, touch the newest devices, and discover what happens after Gen Z.

Presented by the MIT Education Arcade and Comparative Media Studies

Sandbox Summit



Sandbox Summit® is a series of conferences designed to address how technology affects the ways kids play, learn, and connect. As technology is woven into every aspect of our children’s lives, Sandbox Summit raises the bar on questions surrounding the use and development of their new toys and tools.

Through high-energy panels, innovative demonstrations, original research, and thought-provoking discussions with industry and media leaders, analysts, journalists, analysts, educators, and parents, each Summit strategically intermingles disciplines and viewpoints. By creating a dynamic forum for conversation around play and technology, Sandbox Summit strives to ensure that the next generation of players becomes active innovators rather than passive users of technology.
