in the preliminary stages of designing a new exhibit celebrating native americans, our goal was to construct frameworks that not only educate but also revive appreciation for their rich culture. we decided to avoid traditional presentation styles and instead, innovate by creating an interactive space where visitors engage with stories and artifacts directly. one unique feature we're excited about is an interactive display that requires a 'password' obtained from learning about their languages, effectively merging education with immersion. this approach ensures visitors leave with a deeper understanding and respect for native american heritage.
