Creating an idea

Now we know who our user group is, what they like and what they don't it was now time to think of what our exhibition would be. The first thing that we diceded is what topic would they be learning about as it needs to be educational, geography was our choice as we thought it would have interesting options.

We thought of what was involved in geography and thought of different aspects they would like. We thought that they would like engaging and interacting the most. A volcano room was our idea. The children would be asked questions which they will of learnt in school from their teachers pack, if they go the answer correct it would make something happen eventually making the volcano errupt. We then decided that 30 would be too much to have in one room so split it into 3 groups of 10. A volcano, artic, rainforest and desert room. One would be a final room which they entered together.

After giving our five minute presentation, we were told to remember that we only have a small part of the museum and not the whole of it so 4 rooms wouldnt be realistic. We changed our idea to 3 pods. We got rid of the volcano room as when it came down to researching the climates for questions wewere stuck on volvanos as we didn't have a lot of knowledge. The pods would be a fun and exciting way of entering a climate.

The climate pods would have realistic things to what the real place would be like. When they answered a question right, things would happen thart represented the climate.
Here are some examples:

Rainforest room
Wear rainforest hats and umbrella

Warm climate

Rains when they get all the questions right

Real life parrot

Desert room

Wear sunglasses and hat

Warm climate

Sun sets at the end

full of sand

Artic room

Wear hat gloves and scarf

Snow covered floor

Snows at the end

These ideas are what will keepthe children interested and learning in a fun way. We will be delivering the presentation by making cut out mini pods of what they will look like, a preze with all the info on, photoshopped rooms, teachers pack and the questions they would be asked.
