- Educative Exhibits
- Game Design
- Prototype Development
We are designing and implementing an educational exhibit about hydropower for the Ehrenfriedersdorf tin mine. In the implementation, we are ensuring that several children from a school class can use the exhibits at the same time. The educative exhibits are designed to be primarily interactive.
Ehrenfriedersdorf was originally the most important mining town in the Ore Mountains due to its tin mine and was known for its mine drainage system. As part of a project in an educational centre for school classes, we will demonstrate how exactly people used the power of water. In addition, the potential of hydropower in the present day will be explored. Our responsibilities include designing and constructing the educative exhibit, developing a prototype, and designing an educational game to teach children about hydropower in a fun way. We are also developing a key visual.
To enable as many students as possible to learn simultaneously, we are developing two tables, each with stations arranged in a circle and covering different topics independently of one another. This allows students to acquire knowledge independently. The tables have lockable castors and can therefore be used individually in different locations.
We rely on a proven combination of methods: interactive elements, hands-on stations and a digital learning game, as well as several reflection games. For instance, there are several rotating elements and a game in which the children use an Archimedes screw to transport granulate from one box to another. The students can also generate their own electricity using a crank, twhich helps them to develop an awareness of power and energy usage.
