Block Busters!
Opening November 21

This construction-based exhibition is the Fleet’s newest addition to our permanent collection. Build free-form structures – from skyscrapers to bridges – with thousands of wooden KEVA (Knowledge-Exploration-Visual Arts) planks no glue or connectors necessary. They can be stacked in an infinite number of ways, which might look as unstable as a house of cards but can be surprisingly stable no matter how large the structure (and it can be quite large!)
 
KEVA planks turn artists into scientists and scientists into artists. The National Association for the Education of Young Children emphasizes that block play helps young children learn across many academic subjects, from vocabulary building, to sorting and grouping math skills, to experiments with gravity, balance and geometry. Be sure to visit this exhibition and take the “Block Busters” challenge!
