secondary mathematics. Her PhD at UCLan was the first research to consider how handwriting recognition could be used to support children&#8217;s writing and this work brought her into\n                      the then-new community of academics looking at interactive technology for children. She hosted the first Interaction Design and Children Conference (IDC) in Preston in 2003 and then repeated this in 2016, hosting it with the BBC.\n                      She founded the Fun and Games
