We're recruiting 3 to 5 year old kids and their parents to participate in our lab's new study! If you like picture books and games, this one is for you. This study is asynchronous - so you get to participate whenever works best for your family and upload your video afterwards.

Guess what? My *second* online study is now live! This one is for children between 3-5 years old to do with their parents, on your own time! We'll send you the materials to print via email or by snail mail. You'll record yourself playing together, and then upload your video!

In the past 7 days our lab members finished data collection for 3 different studies (1 of which is for a longitudinal dissertation, and 1 had 14 visits per kid) AND moved our entire lab to a brand new space with windows.

Summer 2019 Planning Meeting is underway! Study designing, staff planning, data collection schedules and more. Good thing we ordered lunch!

[Early Learning Nation @EarlyLearnNatn]

.@gbramani of @UMDEciLab: We know that tablets are everywhere. Our goal is to develop educational games that are based on *research* to develop math and cognitive skills. #SRCD19

[Early Childhood Interaction Lab @UMDEciLab]

And just like that, #SRCD19 is over. Thanks for the wonderful talks, posters, data sharing, and more. Safe travels to all the non-Maryland folks, and see you all next time!
