A 2,200 square foot maze invites children and families to learn about energy
and energy conservation. Conservation Quest poses questions, shares the
facts, and challenges visitors to take responsibility by using less energy.
Visitors enjoy physically exploring a maze while mentally connecting with the
subject matter. Over 60 4' x 5' vinyl panels set the stage for a visually spectacular,
immersive experience. Larger than life graphics and clever copy make the subject
of energy accessible, informative, and fun. At the end of their journey, visitors
are encouraged to make personal commitments to conserve energy and protect the
planet. The maze can be installed indoors or outdoors.
Audience: Children 10 and under
Topics: Energy, Energy Conservation, Environmental Health, Future of Energy
Goals:
- Teach children about energy - what it is, where it comes from and why we
need to use it wisely.
- Inspire visitors to conserve energy, protect their health and the planet.
