With the intention of educating people on Worcester history and spreading the joy of the Smiley Face, Worcester Historical Museum (WHM) has proposed to develop a Worcester history and Harvey Ball-themed, mobile exhibit that will be used by the museum in Elm Park and other surrounding locations for Harvey Ball’s 100th Birthday and future events. Therefore, the goal of our project was to establish the learning outcomes of the Smiley Cart, determine the most popular and appropriate take-aways, design activities for a family-friendly mobile exhibit, and create a design for the Cart. Through a series of interviews, focus groups, and surveys, we developed a Smiley Cart design in SolidWorks and a plan for the interactive learning activities.
