Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into our daily lives. It is critical to prepare future generations with basic knowledge of what AI is, what AI is capable of, and what impact it will have on their lives and career. Informal settings, such as museums, offer unique opportunities to reach out to young learners and importantly, their parents, as they are often the decision-makers for their children’s use of AI.

In this paper, we discuss the design of an AI-driven exhibit, Virtually Human, that aims to communicate to the public about the capabilities and impact of AI through AI technologies used in virtual humans. The exhibit includes a suite of interactive digital activities and unplugged activities designed to facilitate the AI learning through digital activities. The exhibit aims to engage visitors from 5 to 12 years old, accompanied by their caregivers. The exhibit is open at a local science museum from winter 2023 to summer 2025.
