Context
Join us at the Luxembourg Science Center (LSC) for the official opening of OЯTHO, a two-person mathematical game. Originally developed by the Embodied Design Research Laboratory (University of California, Berkeley) in collaboration with the Copernicus Science Centre (Warsaw, Poland), OЯTHO is an innovative educational activity. OЯTHO lets people learn mathematics through collaboration, movement, and digital interaction, while it lets researchers theorize relations between moving, communicating, and learning mathematical concepts. As a museum exhibit, the project combines research, technology, and public engagement to make contemporary learning sciences research visible and accessible to a broad audience.
The opening event will feature Dor Abrahamson (University of California, Berkeley), creator of OЯTHO and Director of the Embodied Design Research Laboratory, Katarzyna Potęga vel Żabik (Copernicus Science Centre), who led the development and public deployment of the project in Poland, and Catalina Lomos (LISER), who coordinates the Luxembourg research activities around OЯTHO and related educational technologies.
LSC visitors will be able to play OЯTHO as well as to discover how researchers study learning with digital technologies. Live demonstrations will show how eye tracking, that is, monitoring where people are looking as they play the game, can help researchers better understand the function of attention, coordination, and communication in collaborative problem solving and how these foster mathematics learning.
The event will also showcase ongoing research exploring the future of education through artificial intelligence, virtual reality, eye tracking, and learning analytics. These technologies and methods open new possibilities for understanding how people learn and for designing future educational tools that support collaboration and learning.
The opening marks the beginning of a broader series of activities at LSC, where visitors will be able to experience firsthand how researchers investigate learning with digital technologies and how findings from this research contribute to shaping the future of education.
Come meet the researchers, explore the technologies, and discover research in action.
