The Bay Area Discovery Museum is located on historic Fort Baker just north of San Francisco. It is a wonderful place for young children and families to explore and learn about the natural and physical wonders of the region.
One exhibit zone is called the “Wave Workshop.” It features several interactive displays that invite kids to experiment and manipulate air and water currents and observe effects on various objects. The central feature, the “Race Table,” provides an opportunity for kids to assemble custom foam ‘boats’ for exciting, windy and wavy racing games.
Museum staff, however, were concerned that the water level of the table was too deep and posed a potential safety hazard. Tenji was contracted to remedy the issue by creating a false bottom that allowed for the same racing action, but in substantially shallower water. It was also an opportunity to add some color by using vivid blue acrylic and upgrade the circulation system to improve water quality and ease maintenance.
The project is now complete and the kids can get back to their racing fun!
This came out great! I had just been browsing your website a couple weeks before heading to the museum- and immediately recognized your great work! Well done!
Glad to hear that you enjoyed it! Thank you for the compliments.
