Abstract Traditionally STEM subjects involve the use of experiments. Remote access to experiments has been growing over the past 5 years as high speed Internet access has improved. Several large scale projects worldwide aim to provide experiments as a service to schools. At the University of Southern Queensland, the Digital Futures Collaborative Research Network funded Remote Access Labs for Fun, Innovation and Education (RALfie) Project is taking a radical “flipped” approach to the development and sharing of remotely accessed labs (RAL). Using gamification techniques and a community of practice, the RALfie Project will involve middle and high school aged learners making and sharing experiments in formal and informal learning contexts. Using a Design Based Research approach to include the users in the design and development of RALfie, researchers and stakeholders will be “finding their w@y” to new pathways for engaging learners in STEM. The audience will contribute to the design.

- 5. Then you connect it to the Internet
- 6. So that other kids across the country or the world can use it!
- 7. And when you need help, you can ask a whole guild full of people!
- 8. That’s RALfie Remote Access Labs for Fun, Innovation and Education
- 9. To the users… RALfie will be a fun, challenging game with engaging and stimulating quests that involve both making and using real experiments. It will be a ‘Maker Space’ with plans and guides; yet it will also allow the choice and freedom to explore and invent. It will have game-style guilds that provide a community where young people can safely tap into the expertise of their peers and experts as well as share their own knowledge through forums, videos and photo galleries. The guilds will also provide access to authenticated adult expertise in a range of science and technology fields. Users will showcase their achievements through game-style systems involving badges and awards.

- 11. To teachers and parents… RALfie will provide an Internet-based, digital classroom in the form of a highly engaging, game-based, learning environment with custom-made quests that motivate young learners to delve into the built and natural world to create experiments and share them with others. Children and youth will be able to use RALfie to engage in formal and informal learning at school and at home. A constantly growing library of plans and guides will support the young makers of experiments which could include assembling a ready-made LEGO Mindstorms kit or creating experiments with simple sensors. When a teacher or parent is unable to help, children will be able to access just-in-time assistance through guilds where learners can safely tap into a wide community of experts and enthusiasts of all ages. The RALfie Project will also assist to build the digital confidence and technology literacy of youth that goes beyond merely accessing Wikipedia and social media. By learning how to interface experiments to the Internet, learners will develop deeper technical skills and understanding meeting the requirements of the new national Technology curriculum.

- 13. Behind the scenes… RALfie will be a scalable, technical and communication environment that: • authenticates users • delivers content • interfaces physical world experiments with remotely located users via the Internet • houses a repository for plans and guides • provides communication between makers, users and enthusiasts • provides scheduling of experiments • interfaces with the game and achievement systems Design challenges, perplexing social and environmental problems, and engaging narratives will provide contexts to the quests and stimulate intrinsic motivation. A system of customisable badges, awards and achievements will provide extrinsic motivation.

- Badges - Often connected with activities (not just actions) eg. complete a set number of quests. Can be a prerequisite to access for other quests in a heirarchy (quest tree).Achievements - Rewards for behaviours the system looks for eg. Comments, ratings, completing quests in a specific amount of time.Awards - Non-automated awards given by the teacher to reward student behaviours.
