We created Field Guide to conceptualise, design, and test technologically mediated learning modes in natural environments with children and teenagers living in the Azorean archipelago.
With a team comprising researchers from diverse knowledge domains such as biology, psychology, anthropology, and human-computer interaction, we explored the relationship between the digital realm and the challenges facing biodiverse environments. As a result, the project sought to provide learning opportunities by offering a local audience interactive learning experiences in nature-rich settings.
Through our efforts, we developed four physical outputs, a cultural probe toolkit, a mobile app, an outdoor activity book aimed at teachers and students in the Azores, and a tangible interaction device called Tree Box.
The project started in December 2018 and concluded in September 2022.
Here you may found the outputs of the project and other relevant information.
