The traveling exhibit will consist of four interlocking, interactive, and educational kiosks focused on the following topics: the clinical trials process; comparative neuroanatomy; nutrition and fitness; and, the respiratory system. Animals will serve as the tourguide for each kiosk. Tucker, a Golden Retriever who was treated for bladder cancer at the Purdue University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, is the tour guide for the first kiosk which is focused on the clinical trials process. The images below document the development of the first kiosk. Please follow this link to learn more about our traveling exhibit team: http://vet.purdue.edu/engagment/sepa/exhibit

Final - Work from initial development and assessments resulted in the final construction and design as shown below.

Assessment - The prototype for Tucker's Trials, was tested on November 5th, 2010. The prototype consisted of colorful educational panels, an interactive flip chart panel, and an interactive computer game module.

Development- The first step in the development process was to survey exhibitors to see what they were looking for in an attractive, educational, and interactive, traveling exhibit. Our partners at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis assisted in this process. The development process for Tucker's Trials included developing the layout for all of the kiosks and how they will interact. A script for Tucker's Trials was then prepared by the team and reviewed by experts in education and assessment.  Carol Bain, a gifted illustrator, then worked with the Exhibit Design Center team at Purdue University, and content experts to bring the script to life.
