Geometry Playground: An Immersive Learning Laboratory

位于旧金山弗朗西斯科的探索博物馆正在开发“几何游乐场：沉浸式学习实验室”，这是一个为期四年的与游乐场设计师景观建筑公司合作的项目，明尼苏达州科学博物馆，以及全国各地的三个科学和儿童博物馆（布鲁克林儿童博物馆，科学中心-伊萨卡，纽约，科学工程-阿什兰，或）。项目交付成果包括：一个4,500平方英尺的室内巡回展览，包括沉浸式，桌面动手和电子游戏元素的空间和数学学习的组合（形状花园，地面城市和模式丛林）;从公共和学校操场和博物馆的完整展览中选出的户外版本;一个为具有网络功能的移动的电话优化的网站;与展览设计相关的三个艺术家驻地; Exploratorium工作人员进行了研究，研究影响沉浸式环境中学习几何的变量。 该项目旨在以新的方式在博物馆和整个社区吸引公众参与几何学，并改善该行业在物理沉浸式环境中学习的知识基础。

The Exploratorium in San Francisco is developing "Geometry Playground: An Immersive Learning Laboratory," a four-year collaborative project with playground designers Landscape Architecture, Inc., the Science Museum of Minnesota, and three science and children's museums around the country (Brooklyn Children's Museum, Sciencenter - Ithaca, NY, Science Works - Ashland, OR). Project deliverables include: an indoor 4,500 square foot traveling exhibition that includes a combination of immersive, table-top hands-on and electronic game elements on spatial and mathematical learning (Shape Garden, Surface City and Pattern Jungle); outdoor versions of selected exhibits from the full exhibition for public and school playgrounds and museums; a Web site that is optimized for Web-enabled mobile phones; three artist residencies related to exhibit design; and Exploratorium-staff conducted research studying variables that affect learning geometry in immersive environments. The project aims to engage public audiences with geometry in new ways both in museums and throughout communities and to improve the profession's knowledge base on learning in physically immersive environments.
