Joan Ganz Cooney Center At Sesame Workshop

The Joan Ganz Cooney Center is an independent research and innovation lab within Sesame Workshop that advances positive futures for kids in the digital world. We conduct research on emerging technologies and collaborate with technologists, digital media producers, and educators to put this research into action to support children’s learning and wellbeing. We facilitate an international network of researchers and partner with young people themselves, elevating their voices in our research and engaging them in co-designing digital media experiences. We also work directly with policy makers and investors to drive national conversations and decisions that help children thrive within our digital world.
