ART + DESIGN
Grogan’s favorite part of Let’s Build is the conveyor belt. “I love [the conveyor belt] and the use of simple machines throughout the exhibit,” she said. “It's such a fun experience for kids. They get completely enthalled with moving materials and building together, and I think it's going to be one of those features that's hard to pull them away from.” Visitors will have opportunities to design solutions to challenges, use simple machines to move large materials, and work together to plan, repair, build, and renovate homes. When asked what takeaway Grogan wants attendees to have from the exhibit, she replied, “First and foremost: fun.” “We want families to have such a great experience that they come back again and again,” she continued. “Beyond that, we hope visitors gain exposure to the many jobs, skills, and tasks involved in building and maintaining a home.” The Washington Pavilion team says they work hard to keep exhibits fresh and relevant, but opportunities to completely renew spaces within the Kirby Science Discovery Center don't come every year. “We're fortunate to have supportive partners like Home Builders Association of the Sioux Empire who see the value in investing in educational experiences,” said Grogan.
