KinderLab is a children’s play kitchen repurposed into a play lab. The sterile lab, with plastic lab ware, contrasts with soft, colourful crocheted reagents and microorganisms. The lab represents the creativity and play inherent in scientific discovery. KinderLab invites boys and girls alike to play in the scientific space.
