Even the most difficult jobs can be made easy by the right company. We were approached by McDonogh School from Owings Mills, Maryland that was founded in 1873. McDonogh was originally a military school and wanted to honor former students that sacrificed their lives in the military for their country. Long ago they had already built and dedicated The Memorial Field House in their name and now wanted to Re-Dedicate the Memorial Field House to include

pictures of each of the soldiers and a KIOSK with a program that would tell their story. They came to DataTREK Xtreme to help them with this project. The Archivist for the school brought in a collection of pictures, good and bad that we first scanned for them. We cropped the pictures and touched them up and then printed them along with a legend so that the pictures of each of the heroes could be displayed on the walls.

Now a more difficult task confronted us. How would we design a computer kiosk that would fit into the decor. The Memorial Field House had been built long before there were computers. We took a look at the old building and it’s marble walls and columns and came up with a concept for the Kiosk. We not only had to make this fit in with the decor, but they wanted no moving parts, i.e. no keyboard and no mouse. We designed and built his Kiosk with a Touch Screen.

We then had to design a program that was so easy to use that people totally unfamiliar with computers could operate the program.
