The first non-residential entry to receive an award impressed the judges by its colourful and youthful-spirited design approach. The project brings an energy and curiosity to the serious world of science education at the critical learning age of 7-14 year olds. There is an attractive dialogue between new and old technologies which encourages pupils and their teachers to engage in a world which looks forward as well as backwards. Large scale interactive exhibits and sculpture create a memorable place and an exhilarating experience.
