    Learning by design

    Curiosity leads the way

    01 / Proposed use cases

    Start with your setting.

    Libraries & community

    Consider a facilitated family activity: try a puzzle, compare approaches and talk about the choices. A dedicated public-device program is still planned.

    Classrooms & groups

    Use a game mechanic as a discussion prompt. Educators should review the content, controls, language and fit for their own group before use.

    Museums & collections

    Explore how observation and interpretation could connect with a collection. Exhibition use requires curatorial review, image rights and institutional approval.
