Project manager for large-scale interactive projects at Local Projects, an NYC-based experience design company that revolutionized museums through interactive exhibitions.In collaboration with the New York Hall of Science, we developed five “noticing tools” to help students recognize invisible scientific and mathematical forces at work while they’re at play. Using iPads, students learn about everything from proportions and fractions to physics and 3D modeling, while participating in activities they enjoy. Kids explore topics such as friction, gravity, acceleration, mass and velocity through their own activities - whether walking, running, sliding or climbing. The suite has won numerous awards and was highlighted by Apple at their developer conference
