"Little Builders" Gets Creative with
Construction!
Hammers will be swinging outside � and inside �
Pack Place as "Little Builders," The Health Adventure's new traveling
exhibit, opens on January 19.
�As construction moves into Pack Square this month for our beautiful
new city park, The Health Adventure is pleased that our new exhibit will
explore the science behind construction,� said President & CEO Paige
Johnson.
�We didn�t plan on the timing, but we are excited that families can
visit us to learn about construction in a safe environment as the park
project becomes highly visible,� Johnson said.
Donning little hard hats and construction vests, children ages 2
through 7 will create, play and learn as they explore the concepts of
construction, motion and simple machines. The exhibit will be on display
through May 6.
�Throughout Little Builders, the open-ended nature of the materials
and activities allows creativity to flourish,� said Johnson. �Children are
encouraged to use the exhibit in their own ways, and thus, learning becomes
personalized. Little Builders is also a learning laboratory for parents,
teachers and other care providers.�
Little Builders is sponsored by Dr. & Mrs. George Bilbrey Jr., Pepsi,
First Citizens Bank, and Spake Real Estate. The exhibit was created and is
toured by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Portland, Oregon.
