Abstract

In this paper, I present an integrated demonstration of the first multi-touch NetLogo model. The example leverages visitor interaction with an interactive tabletop game on the topic of evolutionary adaptations of social insects that I designed in collaboration with a large Midwestern museum. The interaction is a collaborative exploration of complex systems with potential for novel cooperative museum learning.
