[Now Accepting Applications] November 7 (Sun): “A Museum Just for Kids”

From a CANVAS Facebook post

*******************************************

#Now Hiring Kid Researchers: November 7 (Sun), “Kids-Only Museum” at Galaxy City

The “Museum Just for Kids” is a little different from other Kids’ Creative Institutes.

There are about 70 different types of materials and various tools available, and you have 90 minutes to work with.

The children are free to decide how to use the materials, tools, and time.

Think it through carefully, then give it a try. Once you’ve made it, think about it some more.

We'll keep working on it for a full 90 minutes, trying out different things along the way.

With everyone’s cooperation—such as wearing masks, washing hands, and using alcohol-based hand sanitizer—

The event will be held with strict infection control measures in place, including limiting the number of participants and ensuring proper ventilation.

Date and Time: Sunday, November 7

① 10:00–11:30

② 1:00 PM–2:30 PM

Venue: Galax City (Nishi-Arai)

Target Audience: Preschoolers (ages 4 and up) through 6th graders (mixed group of preschoolers and elementary school students)

Capacity: Approximately 10 people per session

I can't wait to see what kinds of encounters and ideas the kids come up with!

*“The Kids-Only Museum” is held once a month as a one-time workshop.
