Decode Beatrix Potter's Journal (interactive kiosk)
Beatrix Potter, best known for her children's stories, was also an accomplished naturalist and illustrator. This interactive kiosk was developed as part of an exhibit produced by the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia on Potter's contributions to both natural history and literature.
Users decode a passage from Potter's journal —she wrote her entries in code— by selecting from an assortment of letters and words. Once the phrase is decoded, they're presented with the corresponding passage from her journal.
