Abstract

We present Tangible Networks (TN), a novel electronic toolkit for communicating and explaining concepts and models in complexity sciences to a variety of audiences. TN is an interactive hands-on platform for visualising the real-time behaviour of mathematical and computational models on complex networks. Compared to models running on a computer, the physical interface encourages playful exploration. We discuss the design of the toolkit, the implementation of different mathematical models and how TN has been received to date.
