"Each piece in the exhibit is a hand- made, articulating sculpture that tells a short, humorous story. The movement is enabled by a system of gears, pulleys, cams, levers, cranks and ratchets." And "in our outdoor PlaySpace, we set up a Pop-Up Adventure Playground for kids to engage in 100 percent organic, free-range play," he adds. "Popular in Europe, Adventure Playgrounds are constructed by kids working collaboratively using common materials — cardboard boxes, pieces of wood, barrels, plastic pipe, rope and other found materials. The idea behind Pop-Up Adventure Playground is to let kids' natural curiosity guide their play and what they build. "In our first three years, we've welcomed approximately 805,000 guests and 5,500 member families to explore, discover and think about science, technology, engineering, art and math in new ways," Stolt says. "We are excited to continue igniting curiosity in local, regional, national, and, increasingly, global families in the years to come with the Amazeum's interactive exhibits and programs."
