ALICE ENGINEER
Championing STEM education
for young girls and fueling
their imagination.
Alice dreamt up a world that was fun, whimsical, and full of possibilities. She took her dreams and made them possible. She explored the limitless possibilities of engineering. She built a world that she wanted to live in, a wonderland. Alice the engineer in Wonderland exhibit teaches how to extrude, emboss, 3D model, and 3D-print your own potion bottle. In a short activity, you can engineer something.
SOLUTION
The main goal of the project was to let everyone feel capable and inspired to build the world they imagine with the power of engineering. We were challenged by Karina Popovich from Inertia NYC to design a concept and develop an interactive 16 feet (4.9 meters) wall with this theme of Alice in Wonderland for the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago last September (that could also be used in other events in the future). The concept of mixing Alice in Wonderland with Technology and Geometry ended up with a series of custom made illustrations that were present throughout the wall, with some elements being cut in CNC, and with 3 niches where 3D printers were available for visitors to test printing and learn more about 3D modeling.
