Roto recently had the pleasure of hosting young students from Columbus City Schools - Ohio Summer Experience Entrepreneurship Pathway program! Designed to help students learn how to communicate ideas, solve problems, and develop big-picture solutions, Rotos took these young innovators through the design process from ideation to production and even through some early, hands-on evaluation exercises for upcoming exhibits at the new Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds. If you were lucky, you may have even caught their visit on the local news! #columbuscityschools #channel4 #evaluation #testing #students #designbuild

Roto was proud to participate in last month’s Ohio Expo Center & State Fairground groundbreaking event. Working in partnership with Wellogy, Ohio Facilities Construction Commission, Populous, Turner Construction Company, Hill International, Inc., EDGE, Korda/Nemeth Engineering, 3C Industries, Inc., Bennet Engineering, and BCL Enterprise, Roto served as the exhibit design firm for the Ohio Showcase Building. Slated for completion in 2026, the new immersive experience will tell the story of Ohio’s people, land, communities, and innovation. https://lnkd.in/gmWV8S6M #exhibitdesign #ohioexpo #columbusohio #immersive #experiencedesign #innovation

New Roto Project Highlight! Orlando Science Center – Life. Roto is thrilled to have partnered with Orlando Science Center again – this time on their largest exhibit project to date, the new Life exhibit. This $13.5M, 13,000-square-foot reimagining of two original spaces within the museum was 10 years in the making. The Life exhibit is organized into three distinct world environments: Ocean, Rainforest, and Swamp. Each habitat features innovative live animal enclosures and experiences that let visitors get closer to animals than they ever have at OSC. Guests can meet a sloth, watch gators feed, and listen as keepers explain how aquatic life build their homes in the giant reef tank. Life is a uniquely immersive mix of live animal encounters, theming, and hands-on interactive elements. Intertwined with these live encounters and interactives is a message about humanity’s impact on these ecosystems, what that means for the animals who live there, and how we can stop these destructive forces. Congratulations to Orlando Science Center on their newest exhibit! It was an honor to collaborate with them once again to bring these three environments to life.

Another fantastic American Alliance of Museums annual meeting and expo! Great to connect with so many new and familiar faces. And I finally got to see Roto 's Sky Climber at Port Discovery Children's Museum in person! Always exciting to see our work in the world...and adults in business casual dress having fun going up the net climber to take the 3-story slide down.
