Ever wanted to see your drawings come to life?
Ever wanted to see your extraordinary illustrations of, say, a great white shark, adorable clownfish that looks a lot like Nemo, or an eight-legged sea creature jump off the page and swim around in a whole new world?
Well, now you can.
For the first time ever in South Africa, the V&A Waterfront will host the Future Park which will see children’s drawings come alive before their eyes. In a cool and exciting exhibition space, the Future Park uses scanners and sensors in new and innovative ways. Children can, for example, draw and colour water creatures, scan them in, and watch as they swim around in a floor-to-ceiling digital screen at the sketch museum.
Children will also encounter a sketch town where they can draw a car and see it drive around, a light-ball orchestra filled with large balls that change colour and music as they touch it, a colourful game of hopscotch, a town they build and digitally connect, as well as a table where little people come alive.
“This exhibition has seen more than four million children across the world play in an ever-changing digital environment while they develop their fine motor skills,” says Minette Ferreira, General Manager at Media24 Weekly magazines.
And what a wonderful and exciting way to introduce children to technology in a constantly evolving and changing world.
We can't wait to check it out!
