Edutainment – S’pore Experience
June 29, 2009 Quest No CommentsEdutainment is the term commonly used in Asia to refer to interactive forms of cultural activities with an element of education. Think interactive of interactive museums and having fun (and in my case being a kid again!). I couldn’t therefore be in Singapore without taking a visit to
Singapore’s leading ‘edutainment’ attraction that offers engaging exhibits for everybody
It was great fun and an opportunity to explore using interactive media both Singapore’s relatively short history and also engage in simulation-type activities to explore plans for Singapore’s future. I even managed to fit in some traditional dancing by means of an interactive virtual dance tutor!
There are so many things to talk about, but as a little taster, I was particular taken by a table top maze game that required teamwork between three players to tilt the not inconsiderable mass of the table in order to move a ball in the virtual maze that was projected onto the surface.
