Semantic Network
Visitors can build semantic networks that describe concepts of interest to them (e.g. their family, relationships between things in the world) using strings, pins, and a corkboard. Different string colors indicate different relationships (e.g. IS-A vs. HAS-A). Visitors can take a picture of their creation and it will be parsed by a computer. The visitor can then ask the computer questions about the semantic network that they created (e.g. Q: “What does the car have?” A: “A cat has fur”).
Competencies: representations, decision-making
Design Elements: social interaction; embodied interaction; opportunities to program; explainability; leverage learners’ interests
