Much like life, the Sodarace project (www.sodarace.net) defies easy description [1]. Originally developed as an online Olympics pitching human against machine intelligence, the project has flourished to incorporate an impressive range of scienceand arts-based activities. Sodarace uses creative play as a bridge to foster dialogue and shared awareness between two very different audiences: a broad public of learners, both in and out of school, and the artificial intelligence and artificial life research communities. The Sodarace project is an extension of the Sodaconstructor software, an online construction kit comprising masses, springs, and muscles, providing tools for open-ended discovery and exploration. Though the mechanics are simple, the forms created often have a very life-like appearance and gait, and as such are frequently anthropomorphized by users.
