About This Project

Research exploring the development and evaluation of anthropomorphized first-person chatbots designed for virtualized science exhibits. The work builds on experiences at the Chabot Space & Science Center and NASA AMES Visitor Center, investigating how conversational AI can enhance visitor engagement in educational settings using Bloom's Taxonomy framework. The study examines user interaction patterns, engagement metrics, and the effectiveness of first-person narratives in science communication. This research was published in 2024.
