Meet Ada and Grace, two bright and bubbly educators who arrived at the Museum of Science, Boston in 2009. Science and technology are literally part of their being. That is because they aren't real people - but virtual ones. Designed to advance the public's awareness of, and engagement in, computer science and emerging learning technologies, the virtual guides make a museum visit richer by answering visitor questions, suggesting exhibits and explaining the technology that makes them work. Visitors can even participate in the research that will make them better.
