As artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly permeates everyday life, there is a growing need for public understanding of AI’s underlying principles. Existing educational interventions and explainable AI (XAI) tools cater mainly to children or adult ...

As young people increasingly use AI in their daily lives, it is imperative to foster these learners’ AI literacy. We present Knowledge Net, a collaborative tangible tabletop museum exhibit aimed at teaching users about knowledge representations, which ...

It is essential to increase children’s understanding of artificial intelligence and machine learning as they encounter it through their daily activities. We have developed DataBites, a museum exhibit aimed at fostering middle-school-age children’s ...

Our proposed research seeks to design co-writing AI systems to preserve the writer’s personal voice and maintain evaluation integrity with under-resourced high school students applying to college.

Co-creation in embodied contexts is central to the human experience but is often lacking in our interactions with computers. We seek to develop a better understanding of embodied human co-creativity to inform the human-centered design of machines that ...

As generative AI rapidly enters everyday life, educational interventions for teaching about AI need to cater to how young people, in particular middle schoolers who are at a critical age for reasoning skills and identity formation, conceptualize and ...

Fostering learners’ interest remains an important challenge in computer science (CS) education. In this paper, we explore how creative music-making, tangible interfaces, and embodiment can be used toward this end. The primary contribution of this paper ...

In this demonstration, we present a holographic projected version of LuminAI, which is an interactive art installation that allows participants to collaborate with an AI dance partner by improvising movements together. By utilizing a mix of a top-down ...

What generative AI futures do we want—and what futures do we not want? To imagine what might exist in the future, we apply speculative design to explore plausible scenarios for generative AI and human coexistence. In this paper, we present gAIrden and ...

Fostering young learners’ literacy surrounding AI technologies is becoming increasingly important as AI is becoming integrated in many aspects of our lives and is having far-reaching impacts on society. We have developed Knowledge Net and Creature ...

Research activities in interaction design and HCI were widely altered by the COVID-19 pandemic, with many studies shifting online as health concerns inhibited in-person research. Tangible and collaborative activities are often used in informal learning ...

Fostering public AI literacy has been a growing area of interest at CHI for several years, and a substantial community is forming around issues such as teaching children how to build and program AI systems, designing learning experiences to broaden ...

The unique role that AI plays in making decisions that affect human lives creates a need to foster improved public understanding of AI systems. Informal learning spaces are particularly important contexts for fostering AI literacy, as they have the ...

This article presents Active Prolonged Engagement eXpanded (APEX), a framework and toolkit for informing evidence-based decisions about the iterative design of embodied, collaborative museum exhibits. We provide an overview of APEX, a framework that ...

AI is becoming increasingly integrated in common technologies, which suggests that learning experiences for audiences seeking a "casual" understanding of AI-i.e. understanding how a search engine works, not necessarily understanding how to program one-is ...

In this column, we introduce our two "unplugged" (i.e. no technology needed) Model AI Assignments: Introducing AI and Semantic Networks and Knowledge Representations. We also reflect on the potential benefits of unplugged activities for broadening ...
