Milton Hershey School

Founded in 1909 by Milton and Catherine Hershey, Milton Hershey School provides high-quality education and support to over 2,000 students from low-income families nationwide. From early strategy to final installation, we revamped the Founders Hall Visitor Experience to showcase the school’s founding over a century ago and its impact on students today.

Portrait Stations

Interactive video towers feature current students sharing campus highlights. Life-sized, motion-activated videos personally greet visitors, offering a personal glimpse into the vibrant Milton Hershey School community and immediately engaging guests with fresh stories.

The Interactive Yearbook - A Digital Tapestry of School History

Blending touch, motion, and memory, the interactive yearbook transforms the school’s history into a living experience. A responsive wall projection mirrors each user’s exploration on the touch screen, animating stories, images, and milestones in sync. The result is an immersive, emotional journey through time—told in the warm, familiar language of a yearbook.
