Presented as a stand-alone kiosk, this interactive program were designed for the Museum of Science and Industry's permanent exhibit entitled "Take Flight". This program explains the basic principles of flight. It allows the user to transform an on-screen object, a "brick", into an airplane. Through the process of trial and error, the user is then able to create and "fly" one of 36 possible airplanes. This program uses animation, touchscreen interaction, and digital audio to teach difficult concepts.
