The report describes the Makescape project's research on the Oztoc game-exhibit, where visitors design electronic circuits on a digital tabletop with physical blocks. It states that "learning typically occurs when visitors explain to each other" about luring fish categories. No effect sizes are printed.

"Research is finding that learning typically occurs when visitors explain to each other how to lure different categories of fish."
