CREATION AND EDUCATION HAPPEN AT YOUR FINGERTIPS IN KIDSPACE

STEAM-focused permanent exhibit opens in Duke Energy Children’s Museum March 27

CINCINNATI – Staying home for Spring Break this year can be just as fun as a vacation. 辛辛那提博物馆中心 (CMC) is pleased to announce the opening of KidSPACE, a new interactive gallery in the Duke Energy Children’s Museum where creation and education happen at your fingertips. KidSPACE将于3月27日开幕.

Understanding the growing importance of STEAM (科学-Technology-Engineering-艺术-Mathematics) education, CMC设计了一种新的, 交互式添加到 Duke Energy Children’s Museum. KidSPACE will encourage innovative thinking and improve problem-solving development through 科学, 玩, 艺术, 创造力和探索能力.

Geared toward children ages 3-10 and their families, the new gallery will help kids confront challenges and opportunities in today’s world. It aims to stimulate children to develop a positive attitude towards a wide range of learning tactics in a way that encourages invention through hands-on activities. 从自由放养探索, to planned workshops and design challenges, KidSPACE offers a wide variety of learning opportunities, both individually and in groups. The gallery will host several scheduled programs but will also be available for individual exploration during museum hours.

“The Duke Energy Children’s Museum is built around the idea that children learn by playing and by doing, and with the addition of KidSPACE we can supercharge both at once,凡妮莎·范·赞特说, senior director of museum experience for 辛辛那提博物馆中心. “With the support of community partners leading programs and our talented staff offering tips during free exploration, this space is going to be a really fun area for children to let their imaginations play out in real, 有形的方式.”

Participants will be able to explore five different “zones”: a wet zone where children are free to create masterpieces through painting, screen printing and ceramics; a textile zone for weaving and sewing; a light and dark zone for shadow play; an assembly zone where children can build and construct; and a high tech zone for experimenting with computers and 3D printing.

Offering a diverse range of activities for engaged, 交互式学习, the gallery will provide an unforgettable experience, increasing involvement in STEAM education and helping to inspire curiosity in young creators.
