Summary

Machine-generated summary

The buyer is seeking suppliers to design and build interactive exhibits, known as interactives, for the Wonderlab gallery at the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester. The exhibits should create moments of joy, fun, surprise and wonder across the visitor journey and align with gallery designs overseen by the Lead Designer and Architect. They must embody the gallery's key principles of being playful, social, inclusive and inviting, work without written instructions, and support inquiry-based science education through experimentation, open-ended play and testing. The gallery's design direction comes from the Science and Industry Museum.

Description

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.
