DESIGNER

For the first few months, the Designer Studio will have a slightly different look from the other studios due to the ceiling installation of a black light wheel.  This atmosphere is perfect for explorations with light, shadow, and color. Guests can create moving sculptures and interesting light designs at the Light Island area or build beautiful translucent structures on the light table. Other special activities will include explorations with ice balloons, black lights and glow-in-the dark materials and making shadow puppets.

DOODLER

The philosophy of Doodler Studio replicates the discovery approach that has been the foundation of Museum School for over 50 years. When people, especially children, mix their constructed knowledge of a particular science subject with imagination and artistic expression, it opens the possibility for engagement in innovative thinking.  Activities will be designed to blur the line between science and art.
