Welcome to KidsCAN!

We are very excited that you and your friends want to help us make our world safer.

KidsCAN is a scientific study where we measure the sizes of children and youngsters, and with those measurements we can create safer products and environments for them to use. For example helmets, sports braces, toys and anything you can think of that you use everyday.

The study is organised by the TU Delft on behalf of the European Committee for Standardization, and has been approved by the TU Delft Ethics committee.

Remember, to participate you need one of your parents or legal guardian to give you their consent. But don’t worry about it now because we will take care of it later. Once you sign up for a measurement session, we will send you a digital Informed Consent Form.

What to expect from this session?

By getting measured with us you will get the opportunity to learn about 3D scanning and the importance of sizing for products and environments.

As a participant, you / your child will help improve the safety of products for children! You need come with a group of 4 friends to be measured at the same time. You are also welcome to bring a parent or legal guardian.

Upon registration, participants will provide a contact number to receive updates, reminders, and have any inquiries addressed. A follow-up call will be made to ensure clarity on the process and confirm consent form completion.

The professional anthropometry team uses manual tools and 3D scanners to conduct comprehensive measurements, including head, hands, feet, among others, using safe, visible light 3D scanning technology. Participants are advised to wear form-fitting attire such as athletic wear to ensure measurement precision.

The session, lasting approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes and takes place at TU Delft in the KidsCAN lab. Participants are rewarded with a 20-euro VVV voucher for their involvement.

For additional information or questions, please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions page.

Before the measurement session we will ask for Informed Consent from your parent or legal guardian. But don’t worry about it now because we will take care of it later when you register.
