Children’s Museum Exhibit

The goal of this project was to create an interactive exhibit for a children’s museum. The process began with a mood board.

Initial Sketching Ideation

For this project there was a team that was assigned an area of a museum. Our team selected the theme “Evolution of Motion" and looked at planes and jets, spaceships, bicycles, motorcycles, and engine mechanics for aircraft.

I moved into creating the feel of the exhibit for my specific concept: planes and jets.

Ideation Selection

This exhibit allows the child to “pilot” a model plane or jet and see its relative speed to the other models.

Storyboard

I moved into refinement and construction, including the general framework and placing for electrical elements.

The Next Step

From sketching refinement I moved into building the model in SketchUp for the purpose of rendering, and into SolidWorks for the purpose of construction refinement.
