I co-led the design of a social media tool (formerly called SINQ, and now evolved into an app called ScienceKit), that is designed to allow children to capture their everyday life (in pictures and other media) like they would in tools like Instagram, but in the process view the world through a lens of scientific inquiry. We also designed public interactive displays, to encourage neighborhoods to engage in joint science inquiry with children. In this design-based research, we are studying how to help kids develop dispositions towards science through such social media participation.
