2026 Workshop "Shaping HCI Research for Children's Care
Ecosystem Involvement"</b></p>
<p data-start="109" data-end="494">Children\u2019s technology use and
well-being are shaped by care ecosystems that extend beyond
families to include peers, teachers, therapists, clinicians, and
institutions. We invite researchers, designers, and practitioners
to join our CHI 2026 workshop to share methods and lessons
learned, and to collaboratively articulate priorities and open
questions for care ecosystem-centered HCI. While the primary focus
is on children\u2019s care ecosystems, we also welcome participants who
are interested in applying an ecosystem lens to other
populations. </p>
