Mussel Table
an interactive exhibit
This exhibit was put together to bring awareness to the James Spiny Mussel, a native animal of the Shenandoah Valley waterways, and how drones could aid researchers in recording changes to the population & environment.
The table was designed to resemble half of a mussel shell. Above, an interactive exhibit was on display with 3d printed "shells" that displayed facts about the James Spiny Mussel & a quad-copter drone modified to float on water.
