"Kids' Informal Learning with Digital Media: An Ethnographic Investigation of Innovative Knowledge Cultures" is a three-year collaborative project funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Carried out by researchers at the University of Southern California and University of California, Berkeley, the digital youth project explores how kids use digital media in their everyday lives.
The Digital Youth Research Project has three general objectives.
The first objective is to describe kids as active innovators using digital media rather than as passive consumers of popular culture or academic knowledge.
The second objective is to think about the implications of kids' innovative cultures for schools and higher education and to engage in a dialogue with educational planners.
The third objective is to advise software designers about how to use kids' innovative approaches to knowledge and learning in building better software.
