Abstract

Fostering data literacy has largely been the domain of formal educational systems and export-oriented tools. Informal educational approaches, such as games or family activities, may overcome barriers to engaging with data by fostering data literacy through casual engagement. This work in progress explores how informal learning through creation and play with interactive data representations (physicalizations) can foster increased literacy and engagement with data. We outline a series of DIY paper charts using AR markers and everyday materials to help children interact and explore data through the creative process of making.
