Simulating real NHS and energy technician tasks — pipetting, fault-finding on substations, compounding medication — as physical-digital installations that are accurate enough to be meaningful, but accessible enough for an 11-year-old. The hard part is cognitive load: the same exhibit has to work for a curious kid and a teenager seriously considering a technical career.
Built a series of Qt-based interactive installations for the Science Museum London's David Sainsbury Gallery, each pairing physical props with digital simulations of real technician workflows. Shipped across two thematic areas — renewable energy and health science — with interaction models tuned to keep the difficulty honest without losing younger visitors. Live and running at the Science Museum London.
