- This paper reports a study to ascertain to what extent children using participatory methods could effectively design for a surrogate population. The paper is significant as it was the first to address cross-cultural design with children within a global technology market and was an invited paper at the ACM CHI 2016 conference. We demonstrated that children in the UK could design fun games for children in Uganda; this has been a catalyst to explore cross-cultural design. The methodology and techniques used to analyse and interpret the children’s designs have shaped research practices within the group and academics around the world.
