Danville Science Center: Riverwalk Trail

This paper addresses the design of full-body science exhibits along the Riverwalk Trail in Danville, VA. These exhibits will form a Discovery Trail and provide numerous benefits to the community and other key stakeholders. The exhibits were designed through a systems and user-centered design approach, which involved literature reviews, informal surveys and data analysis. Additionally, materials were selected based on key requirements and extensive research. The conceptual designs of the exhibits, which include descriptions, learning objectives and visual representations, will be presented to the primary client so that grants may be awarded to the Danville Science Center for the full implementation of the Discovery Trail.
