| Description: |
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to step inside
the popular television series Bob the Builder™?
Now you'll have the chance!
The newest traveling exhibition from The Children's Museum
of Indianapolis, Bob the Builder™- Project: Build
It, will bring Bob the Builder's world filled with colorful
characters, inspiring teamwork and "green" themes
to life for girls and boys and their families. Based on the
sets from the popular television series by HIT Entertainment,
Bob the Builder-Project: Build It is rich in objects,
shapes, sounds, colors and hands-on activities.
Bob the Builder- Project: Build It introduces young
children to Sunflower Valley, Bob's newest project. Here children
will help Bob, Wendy and the rest of the team build this new
community. They will be able to build, fix and decorate right
alongside Bob and his friends. When children enter the exhibit,
they can say "Hello" to life-sized three-dimensional
show characters on their way to Sunflower Valley. In Bob's
Mobile Home, they will learn more about Bob the Builder's
Big Plan, look at blueprints for his project, and even play
with a scale model of Sunflower Valley.
Families will also be able to explore a life-size version
of the Machine Shelter where they can play with the building
machines from Bob the Builder's team-- Roley, Scoop, Muck
and Scrambler. They can even work together to "build"
the shelter using fake stones and wooden planks. Families
will also be able to explore tools and materials in Bob's
Workshop. Inside, they will operate child-friendly equipment,
fix a sink and design a blueprint. Families can also plant
a garden near Wendy's Caravan, work as a team at the Sunflower
Valley Water Pump with Farmer Pickles, Build an Eco-Friendly
Cottage and much more.
Can we build it? Yes we can!

extended through 2012 |
| Description: |
Every
object in our world has a story of how it is made. How People
Make Things tells that story by linking familiar childhood objects
to a process of manufacturing that depends on people, ideas
and technology to transform raw materials into finished products.
This exhibit explores four manufacturing processes: cut, mold,
deform and assemble. Visitors learn about each process through
hands-on activities, Mister Rogers' Factory Tour videos, artifact
representations of these processes and take-home projects that
extend learning and conversations beyond the museum visit. Everyday
products featured in the exhibit include 10,000 Crayola crayons
in 90 colors, 10,000 springs, traffic lights, cooking pans,
sneakers, baseball bats, baseball gloves and matchbox cars.
Visitors move through the four different factory areas to see
how everyday products are manufactured. Visitors will make a
die cut box and a vacuum formed bowl, and watch a plastic spoon
being made by an injection molder. They can also try operating
a 3-axis mill, assemble a golf cart and see a robotic arm in
action. This exhibit provides the opportunity to try new things,
to think in new ways and to foster on-going curiosity. |
