The Story of Natural History
####Background
People often wonder at all the things they can learn at natural history museums, but don't necessarily have an understanding of what the study of natural history is all about. What can you make that will communicate to others what natural history is, and include all of the scientific, research, and educational disciplines that relate to it? Tell the world about natural history through the creation of compelling narratives and visualizations of stories, imagery, and data from AMNH.
This is an open-ended design challenge. The only requirement is that your project must come in the form of an app, a visualization, a video, an infographic, or some other interactive media, and is not to exceed 3 minutes.
####Solutions
- An interactive, infographic, or series of infographics that depicts relationships between the various aspects of natural history
- Develop a microsite which highlights one or more areas of impact on society that arise from the study of natural history
