Looking for a fun and educational activity for kids in Milan? Museum of Senses Milano introduces Sense Quest Explorer, an interactive experience designed for children aged 9-13. Created as part of the Museum of Senses Curriculum Project (together with Sense Quest Junior and Sense Quest Discovery), it connects hands-on experiences with age-appropriate concepts from physics, biology, and perception 🧠
Instead of simply looking at an exhibit, young visitors are encouraged to explore, understand, and apply what they discover. Each challenge helps them connect the phenomena they experience inside the museum with the science behind them…and with the world around them 🌈
Learn by Exploring
Sense Quest Explorer is based on a simple idea: experience first, understand second, apply third. The experience focuses on 5 selected exhibits, with 2 connected challenges for each one, for a total of 10 challenges. The two challenges are intentionally connected. The first introduces a principle, while the second encourages children to use their new knowledge and put their reasoning skills into practice 🧩
From Museum Exhibits to School Learning
Sense Quest Explorer has been designed to bring learning outside the classroom, giving children the opportunity to explore concepts they may encounter at school in a completely different setting. Instead of learning from textbooks alone, they can experience scientific principles firsthand and see how they relate to the world around them. This approach makes abstract concepts more tangible, turning a museum visit into a natural extension of the learning journey 🔬
Discover, Think, Solve
Every challenge has a purpose: helping young visitors become active participants throughout their museum experience. As they move from one challenge to the next, children are encouraged to observe details, make connections, think critically, and find their own solutions. They also have the opportunity to put their newly acquired knowledge into practice, testing their understanding through challenges that build on one another. In this way, Sense Quest Explorer turns curiosity into action and makes every discovery part of a rewarding learning experience ✨
