Lucy Bradbury, a fourth-year medical student, gives her thoughts on the recent Hacking Early Childhood workshop hosted at Newcastle University. She reflects on the workshop’s discussions and activities that aimed to explore whether technological advances undermine, or enable, early childhood development.
