How will humans experience aquariums in 2069?

With the New England Aquarium's 50th anniversary in sight, we are looking onward to design its next 50 years.

I joined this project as a UX researcher and designer in January 2018. The project is in its inception research phase. Currently, I am producing a Card Sort deliverable to support ideation, packed with research that creatively and practically projects the values, norms, and tech-enablers of humans in year 2069.

While my NDA restricts me from sharing further specifics until they are launched, I'm glad to talk about my experience so far at a high level -- drop me a line at slei@wellesley.edu!
