Description:
Mission:Mars lets visitors simulate what NASA engineers experience when they send instructions to a robotic rover on Mars. Using the unique campus of the Saint Louis Science Center to represent the distance between Earth and Mars, visitors program a robotic rover in the Science Center's main building then cross the Skybridge to view the rovers at work in the James S. McDonnell Planetarium in Forest Park.
Role and Challenges:
I worked with the content/exhibits team to develop exhibits and floorplans. I also made initial concepts all the way through final build drawings and oversaw construction and install of exhibitry.
It was challenging because we had a short timeline and a small budget as well as designing two spaces/locations that needed to be distinct galleries, but also fit together thematically.
