At ZOOM’s Construction Area they can join in the building as a bricklayer, a carpenter, a roofer, or a crane operator, by measuring, bricklaying, plastering walls, placing stones, building an attic, roofing, or operating the crane with precision. You’ll discover what steps are necessary and which professions are required to erect a building, and you will can experiment with different tools, construction techniques, and materials. Draw up your own plan for a building, test your own models for bridges and high rise constructions with vibration and weight tests, discover how animals build and how we have learned from animal architects. And because a real construction site is quite loud, you can provide a cool construction site groove using wastewater and drainage pipes.
