Hi everyone

My team and I are currently developing an exhibit for kids 8-11 on the idea
of "overcoming obstacles" in service learning projects. The idea of the
gallery as a whole is to walk kids through the process of becoming active in
their communities. 

If possible, we are trying to avoid making it just about physical obstacles,
such as in an obstacle course. We would prefer to focus on the
decision-making process to highlight the idea that any obstacle has multiple
"solutions". We are playing with the idea of some kind of process where, by
making decisions about how to handle an obstacle, kids gradually move closer
to an outcome, such an opening a combination lock. We want a low-tech
solution. 

I'm wondering if anyone can think of an exhibit that does anything similar
to this, or other exhibits that deal with similar content.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks,

Anna Lidstone
