Learning Photosynthesis with an Interactive installation
Photosynthesis is an interactive installation for primary school children created, designed and developed by Moritz von Burkersroda and exhibited at P3 Ambika, University of Westminster.
It’s a learning experience to understand the abstract process of photosynthesis in a hands-on way. Thanks to a physical interaction kids can easily understand what plants convert light into chemical energy to fuel their activities.
The installation uses an Arduino to measure data from a photoresistor and a hacked Wii-remote to connect the objects with the video feedback on the screen triggered by a Processing sketch. On the page of the project you can download a Design Research Document about Contextual study theory to understand the relationship between interactivity, learning and educational institutions, like museums.
