Gulliver’s World – Workshops
Developing games, designing cartoons and creating adventures – the workshops revolving around the new Gulliver’s World installation offer kids and youngsters a whole world of fun on November weekends.
In Gulliver’s World, the accent is on creativity and the user’s power of imagination. Seven interactive stations enable visitors—both young and old—to design virtual worlds and their inhabitants, and to even “beam” themselves into these artificial environments by means of video imaging and 3-D projections. Fun, adventure and acquiring skills to work with the latest technologies are the watchwords of the philosophy behind Gulliver’s World.
