Science Park/Noshiro City Children's Museum

This project was carried out to renovate the aging facility, which has a space hall and planetarium where items donated by JAXA are displays, into a facility where children can experience the "town of space." The first floor, which was a natural science museum, was renovated into the "Nobishiro Space Lab," unifying the entire building into a space-themed facility.
We were responsible for everything from design, layout displays space to exhibit execution for the experience equipment, as well construction.

As Noshiro City is home to JAXA's rocket testing site, we were asked to create displays that would give the feeling of being a "space town," and to enrich the hands-on displays that could be enjoyed by everyone from preschoolers to elementary school children.

In displays room on the first floor, the original rocket-themed character "Nosilon" acts as a guide, and various displays themed around space and rockets, such as vacuum, gravity, artificial satellites, and the solar system, are displayed.
In addition, making use of the atrium space, a net playground over six meters high titled "Break Through the Atmosphere!" will guide visitors to displays on the second floor.
We have also installed experiential equipment that elementary school students can enjoy, such as a vacuum device for conducting experiments and an air table.
