Artificial intelligence (AI) is in many of our everyday activities—from unlocking phones to running Internet searches to parking cars. Yet, most instruction on how AI works is only in computer science courses. The unique role that AI plays in making decisions that affect human lives heightens the need for education approaches that promote public AI literacy. Little research has been done to understand how we can best teach AI in informal learning spaces. This project will engage middle school age youth in learning abouts AI through interaction with museum exhibits in science and technology centers. The exhibits employ embodied interactions and creative making activities that involve textiles, music making, and interactive media. The research will build on three exhibit prototypes that teach about concepts including bias in data in machine learning, AI decision-making processes, and how AI represents knowledge. Female-identifying and Title 1 youth will be recruited as participants during the exhibit design iterations and testing. The project is funded by the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program, which seeks to advance new approaches to, and evidence-based understanding of, the design and development of STEM learning in informal environmentsResearchers will explore two key research questions: 1) How can the design of interactive museum exhibits encourage interest development in and learning about AI among learners without a Computer Science background by using embodiment and creative making? and 2) How do embodied interaction and creative making mediate learning about AI in informal learning environments? The project will take a design-based research approach, iteratively building on existing exhibit prototypes and testing them in-situ with learners. Data sources and modes of analysis will include retrospective surveys to assess interest, content knowledge gain, creativity, learning talk analysis of audio recordings, and coding of embodied movements in video recordings. Learning talk analysis will identify instances of joint sensemaking during naturalistic interactions with our exhibit to reveal connections between sensemaking talk; learners' behaviors and embodied actions during real-time collaborative knowledge building; and outcomes in knowledge, interest, and creativity measures as elicited in retrospective surveys. The final set of exhibits will be rigorously evaluated with over 500 museum visitors. The key contributions of this work will include a set of rigorously tested exhibits, publicly available exhibit designs, a set of design guidelines for developing AI literacy museum exhibits, and an improved understanding of the relationship between AI-related learning and interest development, embodiment, and creativity.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

人工智能（AI）都在我们每天的许多活动中，从解锁手机到运行互联网搜索到停车​​汽车。但是，大多数关于AI工作方式的指示仅在计算机科学课程中。 AI在制定影响人类生活的决策方面所扮演的独特作用增强了对促进公共AI识字的教育方法的需求。很少进行研究以了解我们如何在非正式学习空间中最好地教AI。该项目将通过与科学和技术中心的博物馆展览进行互动来吸引中学时代的青年学习AI。这些展览员工体现了互动和创造性的活动，涉及纺织品，音乐制作和互动媒体。这项研究将基于三个展览原型，这些原型教授概念，包括机器学习中的数据偏见，AI决策过程以及AI如何代表知识。在展览设计迭代和测试期间，将招募女性身份和第1冠军青年。该项目是由非正式的STEM学习（AISL）计划资助的，该计划旨在推进对非正式环境研究人员中STEM学习的新方法和基于证据的理解，将探讨两个关键的研究问题：1）互动博物馆的设计如何鼓励在不使用体现和创造性的计算机科学背景中对AI进行AI的兴趣开发和学习？ 2）如何在非正式学习环境中进行体现的互动和创造性使对AI的学习？该项目将采用一种基于设计的研究方法，迭代基于现有的裸露原型，并与学习者对其进行测试。数据源和分析模式将包括回顾性调查，以评估兴趣，内容知识收益，创造性，学习音频记录的学习对话分析以及视频记录中具体运动的编码。学习谈话分析将确定与我们暴露的自然主义互动过程中关节敏感性的实例，以揭示敏感性对话之间的联系；在实时协作知识建设中，学习者的行为和体现的行动；以及回顾性调查中引起的知识，兴趣和创造性措施的结果。最终的展览将与500多个博物馆游客进行严格评估。这项工作的关键贡献将包括一组经过严格测试的展览，公开可用的展览设计，一组开发AI扫盲博物馆展览的设计指南，以及对与AI相关的学习和兴趣发展，体现和创造力之间的关系的深入理解，这反映了NSF的法规及其范围的评估，这是由NSF的范围进行的，这是跨国公司的范围，这是在范围内的依据，这是在范围内的依据，这是在范围内的范围。 标准。
