Abstract

In this paper, we describe and reflect on the process of co-designing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) exhibition aimed to teach children basic AI concepts in the Catavento Science Museum in São Paulo, Brazil. We focus on two of the co-design process with the museum staff: one which sought to design the flow of the experience and get the sense of the target audience; and another which intended to provide content for the AI exhibition. We describe the activities and show how they assisted in the design process and opened possibilities for the design team to develop an exciting experience, tailored to children, promoting informal learning of Artificial Intelligence concepts.
