How we came up with the ideaOslo Children’s MuseumInteractive floorAmusement and play through physical activity

Main ideaInteractive floor Educational exhibitionTheme: “Under the sea”

- Quiz- Video

Interaction using both feetTwo-player game

User group6 – 8 years oldAttending primary school

- exhibition as a substitute for the school curriculum

- 2nd year curriculum:

* recognize and describe some plant sorts and animal kinds

* cover areas that awake global awareness and sustainable development of the environment

Sources: Utdanningsdirektoratet (udir.no)

AssumptionsBased on data gathering:

Children find it challenging to read instructions as well as getting to much information read out

Learning may get easier through play Multimedia (sound, light and video) may

motivate and attract

User experience goalsThe system should be:

WorkshopsWorkshop #1 with 6 year olds (1st grade)

- goals:
