Problem Statement -

How might we design an interactive learning experience to help the museum transform passive spectators to active participants who make conscious choices in their daily lives?

Design Principles -

Museums as a public space for critical dialogue.

  • Showcase diversity in experience by leveraging the physical space and user tools available at hand.

  • Design a gamified experiences that entice users to see relevance in the curated stories around the museum.

The hall of botany is the particular area for the Entangled exhibition, where is currently less popular than other showrooms with lively animal dioramas.

Plants constitute the foundation of ecosystems that breed diverse creatures. However, human impacts from daily activities have been accelerating the change in the natural world.
