Meet Walter Melon.

Making our thoughts and ideas available for all to see is a great tool for fostering creativity and conversation - and making the entryway into this discussion simple and enjoyable for everyone encourages more interaction.

Walter (the) Melon sat in the Uniform kitchen, streaming a ticker-tape of guest speaker suggestions from its mouth. Staff could submit ideas through an online form or by asking Alexa, and their ideas print out continuously. It’s great fun to see Walter in action, and the ideas made tangible.
