In this fireside-chat session, Jordan Shapiro (Author of The New Childhood: Raising Kids to Thrive in a Connected World) and Tami Bhaumik (VP of Digital Civility at Roblox) will engage in an in-depth, and sometimes challenging, discussion about digital-play and digital play spaces. Jordan will draw on his comprehensive research about the benefits and limitations of digital play. Tami offers behind-the-scenes insights from her work keeping one of today’s most popular digital playgrounds safe and fun. Expect a playful and diverse conversation full of philosophy, business strategy, cultural history, game design, economics, ethics, and social commentary. This is about more than just games, it’s the future of childhood!
