TRAVELLING EXHIBITION
Dino Quest : A Dino Play Halloween in Centrio !
After its three-month run in The Mind Museum ( TMM ), the
Dino Play exhibition traveled to Centrio Mall in Cagayan de Oro City from October 25 to November 3 , 2016 , and it was a big success with the residents .
The exhibition culminated in a whole-day event on October 30 . Titled Dino Quest Halloween , the event featured handson workshops , games , and talks delivered by the Mind Movers .
Once inside , the guests could attend one of two featured workshops . With Earthly Imprints , the guests learned about dinosaur fossils , and made their own cast fossil to bring home as a souvenir .
For Dino Egg Drop , the guests had to use physics to build a contraption that could house and protect a “ dino egg .” The egg was dropped from the second floor , and the device had to be properly engineered to keep the egg safe from any cracks ! by Erin Mercado , Mind Mover
Next was the Dino Quiz , a game show where the guests competed against each other and answered several questions about dinosaurs to win prizes . Last was Dino Myths , a talk on the misconceptions we have about dinosaurs based on what we ’ ve seen throughout the years from pop culture . For example , while we associate the mighty T . rex with its trademark roar in Jurassic Park , they may not have roared at all , and may have sounded much more like birds !
Aside from these activities , the guests also engaged in the different activity and game booths scattered around the event space .
Kids at the Design Your Own Dinosaur booth assembled pieces of different dinosaurs together and “ designed ” their own dinosaur , which they colored with crayons , and took home . Guests also took photos of themselves in dinosaur costumes at the Photo Booth , and played at the Games Booth . The guests also explored the Dino Play exhibition at their leisure .
Guests also listened to three short , interactive talks from the Mind Movers . First was Dino 101 , a primer on dinosaurs ; for example , what makes a dinosaur different from other animals , and why did giant dinosaurs like the T . rex disappear ?
While most of us think that all dinosaurs are extinct , that is not true . Birds evolved from dinosaurs during the Jurassic and are considered living dinosaurs !
Through Dino Play , the Museum has expanded its reach beyond Bonifacio Global City to communities in Luzon , Visayas , and Mindanao with a complete mobile education experience as it has combined its award-winning traveling exhibitions with a uniquely TMM-fashioned educational program .
