title = "Modeling on the table: Agent-based modeling in elementary school with NetTango",
abstract = "In this paper we describe NetTango, an agent-based modeling environment designed for elementary school students to use on a multi-touch tabletop surface. We review literature on the use of interactive tabletops for learning and present examples from an exploratory study that we conducted with 28 children (ages 6 - 10). We also discuss two design challenges that emerged during our study and consider possible solutions.",
