Students in the zoo exhibitry course were challenged to choose an exhibit they visited on a recent zoo road trip and redesign it to make it even better. Students selected exhibits for species as diverse as dolphins and wetland birds, and the resulting projects showcase impressive creativity, knowledge and thoughtful design. Visit the display case in Science Hall to explore their wonderful work.

Students in the Zoo Exhibitry program spent fall break visiting five zoos in four days – including a very early morning departure on Saturday to reach the National Zoo before the shutdown! Throughout the trip, they observed animal behavior and studied exhibit design, experiences that will inspire their final projects—models of reimagined zoo exhibits.
