Date: Open daily from 9.15 am - 6 pm with time slots
Admission: from $5 per pax
Volvo Cars and The Artground are collaborating to unveil the new #VolvoExplorers space focusing on Volvo’s dedication to safety and sustainability. Inside the interactive space, kids can learn about the importance of seatbelts which will be demonstrated through various activities to encourage safety habits from a young age.
Aside from safety, Volvo’s commitment to environmental sustainability is also highlighted throughout the interactive exhibition. Little one can learn about how electric vehicles (EVs), such as the Volvo EX30, help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a cleaner, greener world.
Where Creativity Meets Innovation at Volvo Explorers
Bring your kids to be a #VolvoExplorers for the day! Step into the role of designers, builders, and safety inspectors through a series that encouraged them to unleash their creativity. Here are some of the activities list to look forward to:
- Explorer-Sized Car
The hero feature of #VolvoExplorers is the Explorer-Sized Volvo car parked at an EV charging station. The hero feature is modelled after the Volvo EX30, the smallest yet mighty EV reflecting how the next generation of young minds can achieve great things in the future. This visually striking installation mimics a real-life EV prototype and charging station and is installed with seat belts to emphasise the importance of seat belts further.
- Safety Exploration and the Final Assessment
A key feature of the space is the focus on safety. Children can participate in Volvo’s “Safety Check” by exploring safety features such as seat belts, safety cameras, and car seats. This safety assessment mirrors processes that Volvo cards undergo before hitting the road. Children will check off various safety checkpoints to ensure their prototypes meet Volvo’s high standards for vehicle safety.
- A Journey of Sustainability - an interactive magnetic road map wall
Alongside design, the space highlights Volvo’s commitment to sustainability through an interactive magnetic road map wall. Children can use wooden cutouts of Volvo’s 3-mode electric vehicles (EVs) - EX30, EX40, and EC40 to explore a road map featuring various green initiatives. This playful, educational tool demonstrates how Volvo’s innovative technologies contribute to a greener future.
- Ideation Chalk Wall and Material Shelf
Children can bring their ideas to life by sketching their car designs on the Ideation Chalk Wall and choosing from a variety of materials including textiles, rubber and acrylics. These swatches represent the different materials used in cars, offering children a tangible design experience. Materials that go towards building an eco-friendly Volvo car will also be on display - for children to draw their imagination from!
- Role-Playing Items
Children can fully immerse themselves in the experience by donning designer aprons and helmets, together with tools, as they role-play the process of designing, assembling, and inspecting their own vehicles using the Explorer-Sized Volvo Car as a larger-scale view of how their design choices, from materials to colours, come together.
