Make-A-Wish® Connecticut partnered with Synect to create the Wish Factory to help children discover their heartfelt wishes
REDMOND, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, December 22, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — Digital signage and visual communications company Synect is delighted to announce a collaboration with Make-A-Wish® Connecticut resulting in a special digital experience for wish kids and their families. Special guests get to experience the Wish Factory from Synect, which is an interactive digital experience to help extraordinary youngsters choose from a whole world of possible wishes.
Make-a-Wish® was established to grant life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses. After delivering thousands of wishes, it was clear that the wish journey needed to be expanded to further engage wish kids and families before, during and after the wish is granted. The Wishing Place is designed to be Make-A-Wish® Connecticut’s new home for hope and healing, as well as their new headquarters. The Wishing Place is the only one of its kind in the country, and Synect was honored to help envision, design and install the Wish Factory experience. The details of the Wish Factory remain a tightly kept secret to maintain a magical experience for wish kids and their families.
Synect’s studio and engineering team crafted interactive experiences and components for The Wish Factory, including:
• Custom-built physical props combined with projection mapping and animation to inspire the children and their families
• Inspiration for unique wishes from children to take amazing adventures, become heroes/heroines, meet inspiring characters, receive magical treats, and more
• Bright, bold, inspiring visuals to engage and move children through the wish-making process
Make-A-Wish® Connecticut CEO Pam Keough said: “The Wish Factory experience is a dream come true! The results amazed me, and I am thrilled about what the experience means for wish kids, the Wishing Place and our chapter. I believe this project will ultimately be a model for other chapters around the country. I appreciate Synect’s inspiration and hard work.”
Synect CEO Yahav Ran said: “Creating a bit of magic for children is a cause close to all our hearts. Synect’s studio and engineering team were delighted to use our knowledge creating airport experiences to create a magical place for Wish Kids and Make-A-Wish® Connecticut. We are grateful for the opportunity to create such a special experience and proud of what is in store for visitors to the Wish Factory.”
