In 2003, IK teamed with their local Girl Scouts Council to win a NSF grant for a project designed to steer young girls into information technology careers. This three-year project was delivered in 2005 with the “Girls are I.T.” web site and four unique, hands-on activities in a mobile technology classroom.
Flight and Rescue tells the story of over two thousand Jewish refugees who, through the intervention of Dutch and Japanese diplomats, were able to obtain visas allowing them to escape occupied Lithuania and travel to Japan and China to remain for the duration of WWII.
Built in 2006, the website supports and preserves the exhibit created by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. This online, archival version presents the content by telling the story in a Flash movie presentation, as well as allowing the user to search and study over 200 objects and photographs from the exhibit.
A few websites get better with age — especially when the subject is as charming as the Penland School of Crafts, located in the picturesque Appalachian Mountains. In 2004, Penland celebrated its 75th anniversary with an extensive exhibition and a supporting website developed by Interactive Knowledge.
Founded in 1846, the Smithsonian is the world’s largest museum and research complex, consisting of 19 museums and galleries, the National Zoological Park and nine research facilities. While each unit has its own independent website, the Smithsonian maintains a primary site that acts as a “front door” or portal to all others. This site has millions of users across the world, but had not been updated since 2001.
Latino musicians have influenced traditional genres of music in the United States, while creating their own new musical styles, such as mambo and salsa. “American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music,” is a content-rich, multimedia website from the Smithsonian that presents the musical contributions of U.S. Latinos from the 1930s to the present.
We here at Interactive Knowledge were thrilled to learn that two of our websites have been nominated for Webby Awards! It's an honor to be nominated and it's very rare that a company gets two nominations in one year. We would take time to celebrate, but we're too busy working on new projects.
American Sabor is an extensive, bilingual website we designed and built for the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES). The website complements the American Sabor traveling exhibition and opens soon in Sacramento.
IK worked closely with the Office of the Chief Information Officer and Visitor’s Center to create a new look and a much more practical structure for the Smithsonian’s main website, si.edu. This year-long project included input from Smithsonian visitors, a twenty-member content committee and the team of SI web developers and managers who will keep the massive site up-to-date. IK will continue to maintain the site and add new features throughout 2011.
