Mining Science Centre
Cybernauts investigate “What is mining?”, and look at Copper and Zinc mining in particular, we look at ore, appearance along with the commercial application of metals
Looking at styles of mines (open-cut and underground), we investigate the commercial aspects of each, asking the question “Why Mine?”
Consultation with various stakeholders is important, the social and ethical implications of Mining are explored, along with the perspectives these different people bring to the discussion.
We then explore the activities cybernauts are required to complete: “Your Mission, Jim…”
Down in the modelling pits, cybernauts use semi-transparent lego-like blocks to construct a 3d model of their field recordings
This mining science centre is now operational, time to move on to other activity centres.
