TEAM WORK MAKES THE REEF WORK is an exhibition and play space dedicated to teaching children and their families about the symbiotic relationships within coral reefs, and the symbiotic relationship between the humans and sea creatures. An interactive activity allows children to form a friendship with a fish of their own creation, and therefore become more conscious of their fish friend's environment.

Activity: Make A Fish Friend

Step 1: Children enter the "Clay Station" where they make a sea creature from polymer clay.

Step 2: They take their fish to the Scanning Station, where their clay creature is 3D scanned.

Step 3: The creature is projected onto the LED lit Wave Walls. The fish is animated to swim through its new home, and the child can watch it from the sandbox, or follow it throughout the play space.
