Space centre trip
The space centre trip was a blast (no pun intended), we got to see all sorts of interesting facts about space and all sorts of different ways of displaying them. It was quite interesting to see they where trying to teach people by putting everything in the most interactive forms they could, mostly by making little games with the information they where trying to get across. I thought it was a pretty smart idea indeed as a person will definitely remember a game they have played instead of some interesting information displayed on a boring board. I noticed that their target audience was aimed more to children than adults, however it was still fun to tinker around with the entertainment provided.
We watched a pretty good movie on a dome screen, I was expecting a Imax theater (with 3D glasses) but was disappointed... however it was still a decent enough show and very informative at the same time.
I personally enjoyed the flight simulator - well, it was more like a screen with moving chairs, this was however 3D and quite entertaining.
I have learned quite a lot from my trip to the space centre, I have picked up valuable knowledge on designing displays and also got a good understanding of how you can explain complex things by breaking them down into small chunks and then making them as memorable as possible by adding character& set design and a narrative story.
