GIVE CHILDREN PERMISSION TO INTERACT IN DIFFERENT WAYS TO ADULTS
_edited.png)
Push past the adult paradigm with our imaginative guided tours that use playful conversational language and ideas to reverse the familiar hierarchy of knowledge, and give children a feeling of permission to see things in their own way.
Child Nation founder Jessica Wilson works with you and your local children to develop interactive walks that respond to your locations and help kids feel they belong.
​
Jessica is regularly commissioned to create interactive digital guides which foster child agency and offer alternatives to the familiar adult lens on places and ways of being.
​
Jessica's expertise at building these step-by-step digital guides encourage children’s observations and ideas as they are guided on walks of public art, galleries or outdoor places.
​
These guides feel like a three-way conversation between the child, prompt and place.​
​Jessica works with your local children to better understand the way they interact, and would like to interact, with the chosen sites. She then crafts the interactive guides using no-code surveys for testing and iteration. Our designers craft any maps and digital visuals required creating beautiful graphics with an eye on drawing the user away from the device and into a guided experience of the real world.​
