Making the Invisible Tangible: Learning Biological Engineering in Kindergarten
Orit Shaer, Marina Umaschi Bers · 2011
In this paper we describe the motivation for and design of Garden G-nome, a reality-based interface for young children, which facilitates collaborative exploration of biological engineering. The research questions we explore focus on how reality-based interaction techniques can be applied to make the invisible tangible. Specifically, on how to design age-appropriate interfaces that engage very young children in scientific investigations.
