Below describes the program and gives you more registration information. If you are interested in registering for CHIkids, please do so by sending back the forms below to KiddieCorp .You will not be fully registered however, until your registration fee is received by KiddieCorp. ____________________________________________________________________ CHI CHIkids Information ____________________________________________________________________ In association with the ACM SIGCHI, KiddieCorp is pleased to offer an exciting new concept in convention child care. For children of ages from 6 months to 13 years old, the CHIkids/KiddieCorp program is intended to offer activities that are fun and entertaining yet challenging and educational. The younger children will experience KiddieCorp's developmentally appropriate, creative activities consisting of safe, fun-filled games, toys, and arts & crafts projects. The older ones will be exposed to the CHIkids Technology Center that includes multimedia story telling, CD-ROM field trips, the CHIkids newsroom, and technology workouts (for a more detailed description and registration information see the CHIkids Technology Center Registration attached to this form). The middle age groups will have the opportunity to experience both programs. KiddieCorp is in their twelfth year of providing high quality services to conventions across the country. This will be their fifth year with the CHI conference, and their third year collaborating on the CHIkids program. The KiddieCorp team are bonded, qualified child care specialists who are carefully selected and trained. In the CHIkids Technology Center the KiddieCorp counselors work with CHI volunteers, and it will be this team that will lead the children through an amazing range of advanced computer activities. The child care program will be located at the Los Angeles Convention Center in room 502. The deadline for CHIkids registration is March 27, 19. DUE TO THE PROGRAM'S POPULARITY THERE WILL BE NO ON-SITE REGISTRATION. For parents with infants please bring diaper changing supplies, formula/baby food, and a change of clothes. Please label all lunches and personal belongings. KiddieCorp provides snacks and beverages. Lunches and a t-shirt are included in the cost for children three and over. KiddieCorp staff does not administer medication. To ensure a safe and fun-filled environment, any child that is ill will not be admitted to the child care. ________________________________________________________________________ CHIkids Technology Center Activities ________________________________________________________________________ CHIkids challenges the traditional notion of child care and rolls summer camp, technology, and CHI into one exciting new experience for children. This is an opportunity for the next generation to explore computers, technology and user interface design at the CHI conference. Four areas of exploration will be created especially for children (3-13 years of age). They will have the opportunity to create multimedia stories, try the latest educational multimedia titles, test emerging software technologies with CHI researchers, and to be conference reporters using desktop publishing tools and the World Wide Web: CD-ROM Field Trips Would you like your children to go on a trip that takes them under the ocean, inside a rain forest, across the world, or even out into space? In this activity area children will use CD-ROMs as a way to learn about geography, history or science in an engaging and exciting way. For example, children can become "oceanographers", doing the things real oceanographers do. Or they may be master "sleuths", traveling the world to solve mysteries, learning geography and problem solving as they go. Part of each activity will be exploring these simulated worlds, while other parts will allow them to create multimedia presentations about their experiences, which may be published in the CHIkids Newsletter. CHIkids Newsroom Using current computer-based publishing tools, CHIkids will publish daily news about the CHI conference. Children will research and report on what is happening at the CHI conference's tutorials, panels, paper discussions, or upcoming events. They may also review and write about various software products that they use during their CHIkids experience. CHIkids reporters will write, illustrate, and photograph news as they see it for their stories to be produced in print and electronic form. Both the printed and WWW versions will be distributed to the CHI community during the CHI conference. (For an example of the CHI 97 CHIkids Newsletter see: http://www.acm.org/sigchi/chi97/chikids/ Multimedia Storytelling This area will offer children the chance to become multimedia storytellers. They will be given opportunities to draw, animate, create sounds, write content, and use digital photographs, all to develop their own interactive multimedia project. Children will come to understand what multimedia is, how it is developed by today's professionals, and what tools are available for children to use. Depending on the children's interests they may also be exposed to a range of authoring tools, scripting languages and debugging strategies. Children will come away from their multimedia storytelling experience with a finished multimedia project. Technology Workouts In this activity area children will examine the ways new technologies are tested for usability. Researchers from the CHI community will bring prototype and beta software for children to use. Together they will develop a usability test plan and execute it in a focus group situation. Older children will come to understand what it means to test software and younger children will have fun playing with new technology experiences not yet available commercially. Researchers will receive valuable feedback from children on their work. ======================================================================= CHIkids REGISTRATION Forms: ======================================================================= Technology Activity Registration: Parents, we ask that you indicate your child's interest in the four areas just described.

I recently took my two nephews, 3 & 6, to Disneyland. It's overwhelming, tiring, and the food is awful, but still, loads of fun. I suggest tailoring the day by reading the schedule of parades and shows before moving too far into the park. That way, you may be able to plan to be in an area when a parade passes through and use that as "down time," if not for your son, for yourself. It's kind of nice to alternate the walking and rides with a show or parade (a sit down activity). I made the mistake of asking the kids what they wanted to do. Next time I would pre-select more manageable choices and give them limited options. I'm not a parent, only an aunt, and I think by giving them free reign I contributed to their exhaustion, and my own. The park is huge and there is a lot of walking in addition to the excitement. I didn't remember the walking from my last trip (18 years earlier). A stroller might not be a bad idea, although getting a four year old into one might not be easy. have fun.

Even though I have lived in San Francisco for the past six years, I'm an Annual Passholder to Disneyland, and go at least once a month. I would highly recommend visiting the website of a friend of mine (Al Lutz), who actually takes more hits each month that Disney's own pathetic website for Disneyland (www.disney.com/disneyland). His URL is: http://members.aol.com/alweho/docs/contents.htm. Al will often have more up-to-date information on his website (The D-I-G, or Disneyland Information Guide) than Disney will on theirs; it's definitely worth the time.

Mark likes a variety of interactive software, and I've set up a web page for him at: http://www.acm.org/~perlman/family.html Mark has an interest in meeting Winnie the Pooh and in other activities at Disneyland. I was planning on spending Sunday April 19th at Disneyland, starting in the morning and continuing until the inevitable meltdown, and perhaps well after. Mark is a nice ordinary pre-schooler, and does well with boys and girls from 3-6. Are any other CHI parents in the same boat and interested in making a day of it? I can boast being to Disneyland 10+ times 15-20 years ago, meaning I can lead people to things that may no longer exist. :-? Of course, we parents can talk about kid-computer interaction during the five minutes of quiet time I'm planning for. :-) If there is a lot of interest, I'll set up a mailing list or a web page. I'd prefer to have a small group that is flexible but am willing to help other small groups organize themselves, say for other aged kids.

I updated you all on a portion of the above abit earlier this month. Here is more. The 1-hour break between conference sessions on Wednesday morning 22 April will highlight Local SIGs and the CHI conference posters. Special tables will be set up for our use during this hour, complete with foam board signs to identify the Local SIGs represented at the tables. (I have been told that this can all be set up near the Local SIGs booth, which I think would be ideal, though the layout of the Commons area has not be finalized.) I encourage you to take advantage of this additional opportunity to advertise your chartered or prospective Local SIG. Please have volunteers -- the more, the better -- at the tables during this hour. Invite your Local SIG members to be in the area so they can also interact with other conference attendees who are interested in learning about your Local SIG. Bring sign-up sheets; bring membership forms; bring materials advertising your Local SIG (handouts, t-shirts, ...); ... This highlight of Local SIGs (and the posters) will be advertised in the CHI conference program, and food will be provided in the area to help entice attendance. A reminder that you can display the materials advertising your Local SIG in the Local SIGs booth throughout the conference. We are hoping to have things akin to "magazine stands" in the booth in which you can place handouts; my thanks to LA-CHI, which is seeing whether it can find such stands for our use. At the minimum, there will be tables in the booth on which your materials can be displayed. More soon, but let me know if you have any questions.

Wow -- that 90% certainty figure has been unexpectedly unstable, with a plummet into single digits at one very recent point. My thanks particularly to Arnie Lund, co-chair of CHI 98 who is also getting plans together for a Rocky Mountain CHI, for his role in enabling me to finally point you to the working meeting CFP. It is now accessible from the Local SIGs webpage (http://www.acm.org/sigchi/local-sigs/); please take a look as soon as you can. I look forward to this second opportunity to work with many of you face-to-face. (A few words about our first workshop at CHI 97 appear in the October 97 SIGCHI Bulletin Local SIGs column.)

Anderson" Sender: "ACM SIGCHI Contacts for All Local SIGs (Mailing List)" From: "Richard I. Anderson" Subject: CHI 98 handouts about your Local SIG efforts To: CHI-LOCAL-SIGS@ACM.ORG Status: RO Hi, Back in October, Robert Burns (Puget Sound SIGCHI Chair) wrote to this mailing list: I'm the current chair of Puget Sound SIGCHI. My chapter is just now starting work on a brochure that we can hand out at the annual CHI conference, our monthly meetings or to anyone wanting to know about how we function as a subset of SIGCHI. When Puget Sound SIGCHI finally creates its brochure, I will send a note announcing it here and let whoever wants one send me email with their request and mailing address. This might be a good time for other chapters to consider creating their own brochure, if they don't have one already. Have you all created brochures or some other form of handout about your Local SIG efforts for dissemination at the CHI 98 Local SIGs booth? I encourage you to do so, even if the product is a one-page photocopy. Many people attend the CHI conference who don't know about your Local SIG even though they are from the area you serve. I suggest that you consider them to be your primary target audience and provide to them the info that will convince them to check you out -- e.g., info about your purpose, about the benefits of being associated with your Local SIG, about your activities/services/opportunities, ... And acknowledge those who make it all possible (i.e., your volunteers and sponsors). As Robert's words above suggest, you can ask him for a copy of the brochure that the Puget Sound chapter developed . Also, a copy of the GB/SIGCHI brochure can be downloaded from the GB/SIGCHI website. And various chapter webpages provide additional ideas about what to include. The exhibit hall will be open much of the Tuesday (10-6), Wednesday (8:30-6), and Thursday (8:30-4) of the conference, and don't forget to be there with your colleagues mid-morning of Wednesday during the highlight on Local SIGs (great opportunity to chat with interested folks, sell t-shirts, signup new members, ...).

I called them and their online system has me down for a SINGLE for five nights, followed by a SECOND reservation for an additional five nights. So the records at the conferance office only had a surface similarity to what the hotel got into their system. In my case, I sent a corrected reservation, which got misinterpreted by the conference office and then again by the hotel. So it goes. I'm all set, but have some reservations (ha!) about what will happen when I get there.

This SIG's goal is to inform the CHI community about the creation of the SIGCHI International Issues Committee (IIC), to encourage broad participation in the committee's activities, and to develop an action plan for the committee in carrying out the SIGCHI Executive Committee's recommendations. The SIG's 90 minutes will include three main activities: an update, a panel discussion, and an open discussion on developing an action plan for carrying out the IIC's charge. Panelists reporting and commenting on international developments will include, in alphabetical order (hey, this is in Los Angeles after all): * Richard Anderson, SIGCHI local chapters coordinator; * Guy Boy, SIGCHI executive vice-chair and leader of last year's SIGCHI International Issues Task Force; * Gilbert Cockton, conference planning chair and SIGCHI liaison for the British HCI Group; * John Karat, SIGCHI advisory board member for internationalization and U.S. representative to IFIP TC 13; and * Marcin Sikorski, a leader of Poland's HCI community. As a result of the SIG activities, we expect that the participants will produce: * Wider awareness of the IIC and its role; * A draft action plan for the IIC; and * A roster of participants for IIC activities. For more information, please visit the SIG's Web page at http://www-eurisco.onecert.fr/events/intlsig98.html or send me e-mail. Hoping to see you in LA, --David --------- David G.

These HP products are designed to scan and print photographs. On Tuesday morning some of the kids will be able to participate in an evaluation of these products as part of the CHIkids Technology Workouts program, and they will be available for use by all CHIkids participants at other times. We encourage you to bring one or more personal photographs or other items that your child (perhaps with your help) would like to scan, edit, and print or duplicate, or even incorporate into a greeting card or story using one of the available software applications. Please do not bring a valuable or irreplaceable item to CHIkids. We would hate to see a family heirloom disappear or be damaged inadvertently. Also, we'd like to encourage you to bring a small backpack or duffle bag for your child to store his/her personal items and items created during the week. It's usually a good idea to use a strip of masking tape to label the backpack or duffle bag with your child's name on it. Looking forward to meeting you in LA!
