Play Art Game: An immersive Learning Experience in Art Museums

Description: Play Art Game is a mobile application for K-5 families, providing an immersive learning experience in museums. It offers personalized journeys based on kids' interests, featuring role-playing tasks such as zookeeper, chef, and more to make learning enjoyable. The gamified app empowers families to explore museum collections while seamlessly integrating subject knowledge. Notably, this interactive experience has undergone usability testing at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, ensuring its quality and effectiveness. Background: Chia-Hsuan (Cathy) Tung's thesis project, "Well-rounded: Using Art to Enhance Interdisciplinary Learning," sheds light on the potential of art-integrated education to promote the development of both hard and soft skills in children. Cathy highlights that traditional education, confined within classroom walls, can be mundane and unstimulating for children to engage with. Conversely, incorporating resources from art museums as a location-based learning tool can provide an interactive and engaging experience, offering opportunities for interdisciplinary learning. This approach can ease budget constraints on art education in public schools, particularly in the aftermath of budget cuts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
