Canyon: Adventure Begins - Natural History Museum of Utah (NHMU) - Screenshot 1

The ‘Canyon' app provides a hook for children 7-10 years old who enter the museum. The purpose of the app is to generate a specific goal/case for the user that will entice them to visit a specific area in which they have a targeted interest. Users approach the screen and place their hands on it to activate the app. They are given 3 randomized ‘cards' representing levels in the museum. After making selections, the app will generate a virtual badge and a scavenger hunt item, encouraging them to explore that specific part of the museum.
