Acadia National Park, Mt Desert Island, Maine

In late 2015 the CTDL was contacted by our frequent collaborator Michael Kelly, who had been hired to design and install an exhibit at Acadia National Park’s seasonal visitor’s center, the Sieur du Monts nature center. The theme of the new exhibition space was climate change and the effects of rising and warming ocean on the Maine coastline. He asked us if we could build out a few robust interactives that would be able to withstand being turned off during the winter months and easily reactivated when the center opened May- October. We saw right away that this would be a good use case for the Museduino, since his design called for a long run from the sensors to the actuators, and response time with no data delay was a big reason we developed the Museduino.
