Activities to Explore Technology:
Docents engage children visiting the Gallery in scavenger hunts to find examples of technology in the art and elsewhere in the Gallery. Recognizing technology in everything from wagons and windmills to oil rigs and computers brings home to children the importance of technology in our world. Coming soon: Hallet Oak Gallery will feature a space exhibit with a space ship replica for young children to explore. Currently planned is a “Life on a Rig” exhibit showcasing offshore rig developments.
Activities to Promote Math:
Young children visiting the gallery are given activities involving math such as “Win a Prize by Drawing 100 Circles.” We hope to offer more math activities in the future and plan to stress the importance of math skills in our “Life on a Rig” exhibit.
