Take Shape

This was a 15 week long project working with the MakeShop, a division of the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh. Our goal was to create an exhibit that focused on exposing guest 5+ to the fundamentals of 3D modeling. Through this, we created an interactive “Machine of Modifiers” which is now installed in the museum.

I was the lead designer and one of two fabricators producing the exhibit.  Using C&C, 3D printing and other design tools, I helped create the interactive exhibit pieces that integrated with both the hardware and the software.
