ABSTRACT
Open ended play allows children to interact in a free and expressive manner, without defined goals. It is typical of co-located play. We describe a dual-location installation created with the goal of enabling real time, open ended interaction between children in the two locations. We present the play and design values that led to the development of the installation - the Drawbox project - as well as the implementation, and observations from children interacting in two museums in two countries.
