We’ve been taken over today as we took part in Kids in Museums Takeover Day 2024.
Following the brilliant success of taking part in last year's Takeover Day, we invited three SEND schools, Holgate Meadows School, Seven Hills School and Talbot School to become curators for the day.
Coinciding with Discover Creative Careers Week and with the support and funding from Create Sheffield: Sheffield's Cultural Education Partnership, the pupils took part in our ‘Museum Maker’ workshops that enabled them to explore the Museum, highlight their favourite objects and pitch ideas for new games and exhibits.
Gaining an insight into how to create a Museum like ours, they generated some fantastic ideas:
🦔 A real life Sonic obstacle course (we love this!)
🕹 A playable Nintendo Wii exhibit
📱 An exhibition of mobile and handheld games
👻 An exhibit of scary games (would work well for Halloween!)
🎮 An introduction of games like The Legend of Zelda, Just Dance, Roblox and Pokémon.
All fantastic ideas! Some of those mentioned (we can't say just yet) are in the pipeline to be introduced in the future 👀
It's been another brilliant day, and a pleasure to hand over curation duties to three excellent schools.
