Interactive Thesis Project

The Flutter-by Interactive Butterfly project addresses the educational gaps in The National Museum of Play at The Strong's Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden. Designed as a thesis project, it aims to enhance the experience of younger visitors by providing an interactive educational application aligned with The Strong's mission of promoting learning, creativity, and discovery. The project includes fun and educational games and animations accessible through a kiosk outside the garden and The Strong's website. Extensive research and observation informed the content, planning, and organization, covering aspects like visitor behavior, butterfly characteristics, best usability practices for children, and engaging game elements. The application, created using Adobe Illustrator, Flash, and After Effects, along with ActionScript3.0 programming, features a child-friendly interface, audio elements, and key takeaways, making Flutter-by Interactive Butterfly inclusive for children of all ages, interests, and learning styles.
