The Centre of New Enlightenment

Today P6/7 visited 'The Centre of New Enlightenment' at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.

The Centre of New Enlightenment is 'not an exhibition, it is an experience, an adventure and an education'.

The children were put into pairs and given a small computer each and a set of head-phones. The children were set loose around the museum and asked to find out information and complete various task given to them by their computer. The tasks could only be completed in pairs. Each pair had a different task so the pupils all discovered different things. The results of their finding were then calculated and displayed on a huge screen.

This was a fantastic trip and the pupils absolutely loved it. The pupils learned how to question, investigate and discover. A thoroughly worthwhile outing.
