Educational Kiosk

The Educational Kiosk displays the stories and photos of women honored on the Walk of the Heroines. There, heroines may be searched by name or by areas of achievement, such as caregiver, politician, scientist, or artist, and they may be listed under multiple categories.

Searching for a heroine uncovers a labyrinth of intersecting times and places women have lived throughout history and into the present, as well as the many ways that women contribute to culture and society through private and often unacknowledged acts as well as more public achievements.

The future vision of the kiosk adds a glass roof, as shown in this drawing. The beautifully designed and graceful structure will shelter the kiosk and establish this area as an inviting place to linger and learn more about heroines through accessing their stories.
