Kinetic is a Farm to Table Children's Museum that strives to empower and teach children and families in Washington, DC. The museum features four main exhibits: Farm, Packaging/Distributing, Farmers Market, and Nutrition Kitchen. The four exhibits showcase the journey that food takes and promotes healthy eating habits, sustainable practices, and environmental awareness among children. A learning kitchen provides learning support to children who would rather learn in a classroom setting. There is a community garden outside, allowing the museum to have an active role in providing access to healthy and sustainable food practices.
Kinetic was a semester long collaborative project for a retail design class. I took the lead initiative of researching exhibit design as well as ideating many of the interactives within each exhibit. I developed and refined the exhibits and the learning kitchen in Revit and Enscape. Each interactive is associated with research about museum design and educational models.

We created an interpretive hierarchy based on the Smithsonian's Guide to Exhibit Development to focus the exhibit's main message and provide a structure for context.
