About Kelly Fernandi

All aspects of founding and evolving an international museum services company specializing in immersive educational maze exhibits. Personal strengths include creative development, interactive concepts and project management.Goals:1. To continue pushing the envelope on this unique educational medium; to allow visitors to simulate and learn ever more complex systems through individualized adventures.2. To apply this medium to subjects that I care about: sustainability, reduced consumption, the environment, a sane food system, green energy, green building, promoting peace, emergency preparedness.

Experience

  1. President and Creative Director

    Minotaur Mazes

    Jan 1988 — Present

    Why use mazes to teach? Because people are drawn to them and because they work.Mazes provide a compelling themed environment where any subject can be presented and explored through a wide range of programming elements and formats. These formats include free-flow exploration and discovery challenges, sequential or flow chart presentations,\'walk in the footsteps\' life-cycle experiences, and custom programs capable of simulating complex systems (like the water-cycle, conflict resolution, historic events, adaptation/natural selection, pollination, anything). Our exhibits allow visitors to truly get in to the subject - to play a part, to re-enact, to empathize, to understand, to care and finally to emerge with a new perspective - all in the course of a game or adventure that includes a storyline, a mission, and a clear goal. The educational content is weaved into the experience and the learning is simply a byproduct of successful completion. Memorable. Effective. Fun.
