Building Boom with KEVA (Knowledge-Exploration-Visual Arts) - Long Island Children's Museum Date: 09/21/12 through 01/06/13 Hours: 2:30-4pm Ages: All Price: $11 museum admission Address: 11 Davis Ave. - 516-224-5800 Garden City, NY 11530 licm.org Description: Get ready to explore the simple and complex possibilities of construction as you move from the drawing board to the construction crew. Building Boom with KEVA encourages you to conceive, then build, the design project of your dreams -- bridges, skyscrapers, castles, airplanes, trestles, spirals and more. You?ll develop a first-hand understanding of the physical forces at work in the design process as you apply principles of balance, proportion and geometry to your design. Building Boom with KEVA brings out the designer, architect and engineer in each of us as you problem solve and think in three dimension. Uniform in size, KEVA planks use only gravity ? no glue or connectors. You'll dabble with physics to achieve balance, proportion and stability. Stumped for a design project? Draw inspiration from 50 permanent building models on display. This exhibit runs through January 6, 2013.
