.Geetha Ramani of Early Childhood Interaction Lab: 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

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!

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

Happy end of the semester from our lab!

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.

We have arrived to campus on this beautiful day and excited for the preconferences to start. MCLS Early Childhood Interaction Lab #MCLS19
