Edutainment For Kids At The New Museum Of Solutions (MuSO) In Mumbai

Mumbaikars now have a fun space for their children to hang out in while also learning new things and exploring.?

In fact, Mumbai's new Museum of Solutions, opening on November 26, is replete with educational interactive activities designed specifically for curious young minds.?

What does the Museum of Solutions (MuSO) offer??

Called an 'experiential' Children's Museum, MuSO aims to build a better world through experiences based on the real world.?

MuSO has 4 labs:?

• Play?
• Discover?
• Make lab (kids can sharpen design skills here with art and tech)?
• Grow lab (a rooftop garden where sustainability and the nurturing of plants can be discovered).?

The four labs all have a unique theme and questions aimed at making children think in a solution-oriented way.?

For instance, Pia is a girl in a wheelchair who can't get access to any playground in the city.?Can the children design a playground for her with cardboard or other stuff? Questions like this can engage the children in finding a solution.

Why learning through play is important?

Kids naturally love to play, and it is through playing that their minds can be developed in various ways.?

"In addition to promoting curiosity, exploration and creativity, play provides children with the opportunity to practice important executive function and self-regulation skills like paying attention, inhibiting their impulses and remembering and updating information," Stephanie Jones, a professor of early childhood development at Harvard University's Graduate School of Education, told US News.?

Mayra Mendez, program coordinator at a Child and Family Development Center in California, is quoted by Healthline as saying, "Play is important because it provides a primary foundation for learning, exploring, problem-solving, and building an understanding of the world and your role within it."?

It is precisely this foundation that MuSO is designed on.??
