Entertainment has always been associated with amusement, enjoyment, relaxation & fun. Science has had a major role in this very large world of leisure. From early Radios & Music through to Virtual Reality, Science is embedded in all aspects of entertainment. In fact, from the beginning, the world of magic as entertainment has had its strong foundation in the Science of illusions and make-believe.
Our pavilion explores how key scientific developments in areas of Audio (Music), Radio, Television, Photography, Movies have evolved. Students will be able to link what they’ve learnt in Science at school to everyday entertainment that they experience and enjoy. We also draw a parallel to tying in all our sensory perceptions to create immersive and interactive entertainment – be it social or gaming.
Come, play, experience and enjoy this great new pavilion.
