Help Henry Innovate

Help Henry Ford test new car innovations.

Description

In this interactive, Henry Ford and his team have recently completed their design of the Model A.

Visitors are invited to explore and test new ideas and innovations for the proposed Models B, N, and T. Visitors study each previous model by exploring each car's interactive hotspots. They then use what they’ve learned to select components for the next model. Visitors drag and drop car components into a pre-rendered car blueprint.

Once the model is successfully assembled, a picture of the completed car is displayed onscreen.
