What the buyer wants
Supply and installation of interactive exhibits for the Science and Industry Museum's Wonderlab, designed to be playful, social, inclusive, and inviting, fostering active exploration and inquiry-based science education.
This tender invites suppliers to bid for Wonderlab interactives. These interactive exhibits will provide moments of joy, fun, surprise and wonder throughout the visitor journey. They
should be in keeping with wider, gallery designs which will be overseen by the Lead Designer / Architect.
Interactives will embody the gallery’s key principles:
• playful – inspires and celebrates active exploration, curiosity, fun and experimentation.
• social – appeals to both children and their accompanying adults, sparks intergenerational conversations and encourages sharing discoveries and ideas with others.
• inclusive – is multi-sensory, values diversity, strives to be ‘Open for All’ and is accessible to as many people as possible.
• inviting – welcoming, with a sprinkling of Manchester personality, intuitive to navigate and empowering independent exploration.
Wonderlab interactive exhibits will be intuitive, easy to manipulate and importantly will not
rely on written instructions to function.
Exhibits will foster interaction in many different ways but will be based on the inquiry approach to science education, which allows for experimentation, questioning, reflection, open ended play and testing.
