Installation: Phase 2

This happened in the week 25th-29th June

We broke the install up into the areas that they would be installed into at The Edge. We also considered that they were part of 'story worlds'.

We began with the entrance way and then the auditorium. Most of the tech elements were in the auditorium so needed to be installed early on.

We also needed to put deadline dates to worlds so that community knew that they existed and why.

There was one major piece that we did not finish installing during install week and that was the shark. Throughout the first week of the installation being up a number of people worked on building it with the space sectioned off to public. Many children, families and community members commented on how great it was to see it being built and not knowing what it was. Seeing the mechanics in process. What it takes to build the large scale pieces in the Rumpus.

The other thing to note is that it was extremely important to have things prepared enough so that volunteers and staff could help. They could jump in and get started quickly this way. For example, having work stations set up ready to go (with parts spray painted, glue set up).
