Abstract :
This paper will introduce digital media exhibitions developed for the Singapore Science Center. Digital media has become a new form of literacy for children. Allowing them to experience hands on advanced media technology should be the best way for children to understand these new technologies. To achieve this goal, we have developed exhibitions in the Singapore Science Center such as Blog Wall, Media Mirror, and Evolution Table. These cover advanced mixed reality, and human interaction technologies to have new experiences of learning and playing for children.
