Playful by design: free play in a digital world

To change the world, you must first dream. So often, the digital world of children is stated in binaries – on or offline, good or bad actors, opportunity or harm – but the lived reality of children is much more complicated. Where on and off can be seamless and simultaneous, too much of a good thing can be bad, or something meant for one purpose can be hacked for another: sometimes with harmful outcomes, and sometimes joyous. It is with full understanding of this complicated context that Playful by Design® has been researched, developed and written.
