TOOLS
Pardon the dust, this case study is still in the works!
BACKGROUND
Are screens effective as a learning tool? While excessive reliance on screens raises concerns about harm to cognitive growth, screens can also serve as tools for learning when used thoughtfully.
Leveraging the potential of screen media while mitigating its risks support healthy development.
How and when do kids decide to learn?
I wanted to understand what motivates kids to engage with museums and learn, particularly those who often struggle to stay focused during visits. I completed"
Competitive analysis and secondary research
Expert interviews with an Exhibit Content Developer at the Boston Museum of Science and a designer at RLMG, a studio specializing in interactive installations for public spaces
User interviews with kids, parents, and teachers
My research boiled down into three key findings:
1
Engagement requires more than just interaction; kids need to see a personal connection
2
Guidance enhances learning. Structured activities can discourage superficial engagement
3
Exhibits often miss the mark as children see them as entertainment rather than educational
