Our second paper (Tegan’s first full paper, well done!) explores how cross-sensory metaphors (like “sharp smell”) help kids & adults connect. A metaphor-based game revealed age-based strategies, offering new ways to design tools that bridge generational gaps.

Brooke @b-morris.bsky.social presented work that challenges 90+ years of play theory (Parten, 1932) by proposing a neuro-inclusive continuum model of social play; a bold step toward designing tech that can support for all children. Congrats on the award Brooke!
