Water

Stand-alone exhibits which revolve around Water - project by Science Center Singapore

Any and all ideas for exhibits related to water in any way are encouraged, with the following considerations:
* The exhibit will be built and installed in a real life science centre.
* The target audience is everyone.
* The exhibit should have a clear message and universal appeal.
* The exhibit could be educational and/or inspirational, hands-on and/or contemplative, practical and/or artistic, depending on your message.

Combining different aspects of water into one appealing exhibit can be a powerful way to get your message across, but focusing on one particular concept can be effective, too.  The exhibit may be designed for indoor or outdoor settings, bearing in mind that Singapore is a tropical country with plenty of rainfall.
