The visit to the museum was refreshing and delightful. I was very impressed by the range of exhibits and interactive installations that were engaging to all ages including the adults.

I noticed that kids are very into tangible medium that do not hold  shape such as gravel, water and peanuts. They are also interested in modular parts that they have full control in assembling with like the cactus kit or the assembly panels with bolts/nuts. They seem to spend a lot more time building and messing around with “raw materials” that they can build with rather than interact with projects that are more complete and don’t allow for much modification. That being said, the more digital or complete projects still do incite wonder and magic but the engagement seems shorter.
