How can caregivers build their children's knowledge during moments of pause in the day, using the technology right in their pockets? From 2020-2022, LSX Fellows Brenda Bushouse, Judith Danovitch, Tammy Kwan, Annie Murphy Paul, and Ariel Zekelman collaborated to develop a solution: Tech Together. This campaign encourages caregivers to use the apps that are pre-loaded into their smartphones, such as the camera, the calculator, and the map, to interact with their children and help them think more deeply about their world. PDFs with each of the activities are available below for educators and caregivers to download, enjoy, and share on social media.

To see how Tech Together came to be, we invite you to watch the team's video, which was presented at the 2022 LSX Summit.
