In the fall semester of 2023, 17 students in CCAD’s Exhibit Design course partnered with Roto, an interactive museum and exhibit experience design firm, to reimagine the future of play by rethinking one of the classic exhibit forms: the “pretend play vehicle.” So often in children’s museums, these exhibits are static trucks, ships, or airplanes to simply climb on. Roto challenged the students to think expansively about the concept of a vehicle, and to create designs that engage families in interactive and innovative ways.
