Abstract
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 Features, two activity boxes for family groups to engage with in their homes that communicate AI literacy competencies such as understanding knowledge representations, the steps of machine learning, and AI ethics. Our current work is exploring how to transform these activity boxes into museum exhibits for middle-school age learners, focusing on three key considerations: centering learner interests, generating personally meaningful outputs, and incorporating embodiment and collaboration on a larger scale. Our demonstration will feature the existing Knowledge Net and Creature Features activity boxes alongside early-stage prototypes adapting these activities into larger-scale museum exhibits. This paper contributes an exploration into how to design AI literacy learning interventions for varied informal learning contexts.
