DESCRIPTION:Michael S. Horn is an assistant professor at Northwestern Univ
 ersity where he directs the Tangible Interaction Design and Learning (TIDA
 L) Lab. Michael holds a joint appointment in Computer Science and the Lear
 ning Sciences and conducts research exploring the use of emerging interact
 ive technology in the design of innovative learning experiences. His proje
 cts include the design and evaluation of a tangible computer programming l
 anguage for use in science museums and early elementary school classrooms\
 ; and the design of multi-touch tabletop exhibits for natural history muse
 ums.\nEmerging interactive technologies are rapidly transforming the ways 
 in which we work\, play\, communicate\, and learn. In this talk I discuss 
 the use of tangible interaction to create innovative learning experiences\
 , particularly for informal settings. My design process is guided by the i
 dea of evoking cultural forms in interactive systems as a way to build on 
 learners’ pre-existing cognitive\, social\, and emotional resources. I w
 ill describe this approach in more detail and present some examples that I
  have developed with students and colleagues.
