Moreover, we carry out an innovative design conception in terms of exhibits, exhibition items and interaction modes. We show multiple exhibition designs about animals, plants, sports, literature and art aiming to children aging from 6–12 years old. Through parent-child interactions, parents have chances to know their children’s preferences, items’ sensitive degree, the degree of enthusiasm in the games. By observing children’s participation in different games/subjects, parents can discover their children’s talents.
