Science X Design is an open-access, self-paced learning module that is designed to help service providers improve outcomes for young children and their caregivers. 

Pronounced “science by design,” the toolkit aims to empower service providers in such fields as healthcare, education, and child welfare. It helps to identify new opportunities to improve services in these fields.

The toolkit also offers curated information on three design principles informed by the science of early childhood development and guides users in gathering input from the people involved in services.

Through an interactive learning, listening, and synthesis process, users can identify opportunities to adapt early childhood programs to support the healthy development of young children and their caregivers.

The module takes about four to six weeks to complete and was designed to be completed as a team.

A course overview and information on who should participate in the module can be found on Science X Design’s website as well as information on how long it will take and what outcomes to expect.
