Paper Abstract:
|
The aim of this paper is to examine the design process to enable the delivery of information relating to science to young people, encouraging their creativity and ingenuity in contact with scientific topics and technologies in a fun way. Therefore, we design an environment through mobile devices, with innovative and efficient methods that include ludic-formative activities with the aim to awake interest and curiosity so scientific careers are no longer strange to the young. In this paper we present a model and outline of the first stages of this design process by outlining a methodology that allows the merging of requirements for usability, for mobile technology and for fun-based learning. |
