Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center 

Introduction 

One of my key accomplishments was upgrading the sensors of existing interactive exhibits and integrating them with Arduino-based control systems. This task required a detailed analysis of the original exhibit designs, as the existing hardware had specific spatial constraints.

​

To help younger audiences engage with marine science, I designed an interactive kit that illustrates the jellyfish life cycle and its movement mechanisms. This project showcases my ability to translate complex scientific concepts into accessible and engaging content, enhancing educational value through design thinking.

​

I designed and installed a remotely controllable camera system capable of rotating vertically and horizontally to observe animals in the aquarium. I also developed and installed an interactive exhibit that demonstrates the mechanism of a stingray’s tail sting.
