Title: | Indirect Interaction: A Computing Lecture for Five to Seven Year-Olds | Contributor(s): | Billingsley, William (author) ; Kwan, Paul H (author) | Publication Date: | 2016 | DOI: | 10.1145/2908805.2909410 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/19149 | Abstract: | Most papers on introducing children to computing assume the children will interact directly with the technology or task. In this paper, we reflect on a case of designing for indirect interaction - where it is not the children's hands but a facilitator's on the device. The context is a computing lecture we gave for twenty-six children aged between five and seven years old. This was specifically designed to give a stylized experience of being a university student - it is self-consciously a lecture emphasising student-teacher interaction around code. We found a technique from undergraduate engineering education - a partially exposed simulation in a text-based programming language - allowed imaginative interaction from the children as they discovered they could model the impossible. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | DIS 2016: 2016 ACM Conference on Designing Interactive Systems, Brisbane, Australia, 4th - 8th June, 2016 | Source of Publication: | DIS 2016 Companion: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM Conference Companion Publication on Designing Interactive Systems, p. 145-148 | Publisher: | Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) | Place of Publication: | New York, United States of America | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130105 Primary Education (excl.
