The Montreal Science Centre Transforms a Physical Interactive Activity into a Digital Activity During the Pandemic

Renewing During the Pandemic
Pre-pandemic, the Montreal Science Centre offered a very popular physical interactive activity, the Soap Bubble. In its Explore! exhibition, children could have fun creating a soap bubble around themselves by pulling on a rope. With the pandemic, this activity had to be stopped. But the Science Centre chose to transform it to offer a similar, but contactless, activity.
Blowing Bubbles Without Soap
Project manager Élisabeth Moreau worked with MySmartJourney and Ottomata to design a digital interactive activity that replicates the bubble activity. Soap bubbles appear intermittently on the floor. Children can have fun walking on them. The longer they stay on a bubble, the bigger it gets before bursting. Combined with this, a scannable QR code allows children to learn how to blow unique soap bubbles.
