CHIKids combines the fun of summer camp, technology, and CHI. It is an exciting experience for children (3-15 years of age) where they can produce web sites, create interactive animations, review new educational titles, test drive the latest gadgets and toys, or be CHI conference reporters. CHIKids needs you to make all of this happen!

Individuals, educational organizations, and companies that want to focus on projects that involve kids in innovative and educational technological experiences are encouraged to submit short proposals. Both paper and electronic submissions are welcome.

You can commit to participating in all (as a leader) or some (Daily Volunteer) of the CHIKids program.

CHIKids Leaders

The success of the CHIKids Program is due in great part to the expertise, experience, and energy of our dedicated CHIKids Leaders. If you are interested in volunteering to be a CHIKids Leader, please submit a one-page summary that includes your contact information, your experience (if any) working with children, and what you hope to accomplish as a CHIKids Leader. Only a limited number of CHIKids Leaders can be selected; therefore, your timely submission is critical.

CHIKids Daily Volunteers

If you are interested in experiencing our CHIKids program, but cannot commit the time required to be a CHIKids Leader, then you may be interested in being a CHIKids Daily Volunteer. As a Daily Volunteer, you can select the days and times you are available to work at CHIKids. If you are interested in volunteering, please submit a one-page summary that includes your contact information and your experience (if any) working with children.

More details about the CHIKids program will be posted here in May 2002.

The deadline for submission is 23 September 2002, 5PM (17:00) at your local time. Email your summary to chi2003-kids@acm.org.
