We investigate the impacts of digital technology use and environmental factors on young people’s health, cognition and mental wellbeing.
We aim to improve the lives of young people through our research by providing evidence-based recommendations to policy makers.
We strongly believe that our research should be co-designed with our participants and young people, not on or for them.
About
We were founded in 2014. Since then, we have engaged with nearly 12000 young people.
We are currently working with over 55 schools across the Greater London area.
Our research
Our research is co-designed with young people, as we believe their lived experiences should drive our research.
We currently have multiple ongoing projects led by students for students, as we aim to inspire the next generation of researchers.
Get involved
We encourage young people to get involved in our research!
Whether you are still in school, are a university student or a teacher looking to offer your students more opportunities, we have something for you.
