“Well seeing the exhibit under construction was an eye opener today. When he said that it took almost 2 years to plan and execute that one exhibit I was baffled. I thought that it might have taken a couple of months to plan it, I thought that the longest and hardest part was going to be the construction. But when he was talking about the placement of everything, the lighting of the artifacts, the casing, and adding interactive exhibits I realized how important all these things were. Now I am rethink everything that I have to do for the fish tanks, I have to rethink the colors used, where we placed things, how we present it, where we stand, and so many more things that I had not thought about before.”
“The thing i can take away from today are put the vital information big so people know its important. We need an attention grabber. We also need to shorten what we need to say because if the information is to long then people will get bored and not be interested and walk away”
“What I think really made the exhibits at the museum seem professional was how each one had a particular single or group of artifacts, or props that were the main theme, and then brief descriptions and other props to support it to tell the story as they were trying to do, but in our case it would be to sell our product. I saw examples of this in the hook exhibit where they had the hooks as the artifacts and the main focus of it all, with descriptions and pictures to be a little more descriptive....In the science area what I found really caught my eye was the terrariums. I have always been interested in these, since they’re great for keeping small pets and plants to create a life like habitat. It’s interesting just watching it, but what would be really cool is if we could incorporate some what of an Aquaponics like theme into a terrarium. It could be pretty simple in a small tank and could educate people on examples of Aquaponics in nature and how things use the nitrogen cycle to survive. This could provide the convenience and productivity of an Aquaponics system with an intriguing design.”
“looking a bunch of pictures and words. If we were able to make an interactive exhibit for our aquaponics system then that would probably give us an advantage from the rest of the groups. The exhibits had different lighting on different components of the exhibit. There was brighter lighting on 3D objects which made it more eye catching. We could put lights on our 3D aquponics system to make it look more professional or eye catching to the viewers. We could give the people samples of the vegetables that we are growing in our aquaponics system. It would is kind of be like Costco and how people want to buy some type of food after they tried the sample.”
