Grasping Math and Science, Literally
9.18.09 | A Wii-like space helps kids grasp math and science in a hands-on way. Designers talk about their goals in designing this “lab,” in this video produced by Ben Wolff.
Situated Multimedia Arts Learning Lab or SMALLab is a mixed reality platform used to teach academic concepts. The program is in its fourth year and currently being prototyped at a high school with ninth graders in Scottsdale, AZ. Another one is planned for the new Quest to Learn school in New York City run by the Institute of Play.
