My colleagues and I at MathWorks are in the process of designing and building an interactive digital exhibit for the Ecotarium: a science museum in Worcester, MA. I would like to discuss my experience as a designer and code developer on the project. Some questions I would like to discuss with the audience are:

  • Where does the design process for an interactive exhibit start?
  • How do you simplify a complex concept to work as a children’s exhibit?
  • What goes into the software engineering of an interactive exhibit?
