The exhibit encourages curiosity, observation, and critical thinking, helping kids see data not as abstract information, but as something connected to their own experiences and choices. Through guided adventures, kids will gain foundational data literacy skills in an engaging and hands-on way:

• Interpret and build basic bar and pie charts in real time
• Discover the relationship between charts, patterns, and decision-making
• Understand community data and see their own choices reflected in live results

The touchscreen kiosk operates as a walk‑up, self‑guided experience with no facilitation required, making it perfect for continuous museum floor use. After getting introduced to Daphne, the data-drawing dragon, visitors select from two themed adventures: Bars in the Jungle using bar charts or Pies with Pets learning about pie graphs.

Each activity begins with a challenge that Daphne needs help solving using data. Kids drag and drop elements to build charts that unlock answers to real-world problems. After helping Daphne and her friends, there is a chance to contribute to community data by answering a question. Responses are incorporated into a collective visual in real-time, so every visit changes the story.

Built with museum environments in mind, the Daphne Draws Data exhibit is engineered for durability and ease of maintenance. This exhibit is designed for curious data detectives and features:

• Commercial‑grade touchscreen suitable for public spaces.
• Rugged construction from ¾ inch solid plastic and components rated for high‑traffic, hands‑on use.
• All digital elements run on reliable, secure software designed for long‑term stability and quick reset between users.

Museums can join the Data Detectives program to access free, ready-to-use resources for field trips and public programs connected to this exhibit. The pre-built activities pair naturally with the experience, giving kids a chance to create their own graphs after reading the full Daphne Draws Data book.

Museum visitors can purchase the Daphne Draws Data book which can be made available for sale in museum gift shops. They can also explore the education hub for videos, coloring pages, and graphing activities that help kids keep learning between visits and get excited for their next trip to the museum. These are accessible via the QR code visible on the top of the exhibit.
