Volvo and The Artground have teamed up to create the new #VolvoExplorers space, adding a fresh layer to The Artground’s Explore Arts Space.
The #VolvoExplorers space brings Volvo’s history and values to life in a way that’s interactive and educational. Children and their families can learn about Volvo’s legacy in safety innovation, like the 3-point seatbelt, which Volvo introduced back in 1959.
Through various activities, the little ones can practice safety habits, such as buckling up.
On the sustainability front, the space shines a spotlight on electric vehicles (EVs) and how they contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Kids will learn about the Volvo EX30, showcasing how tech and sustainability go hand in hand.
What makes the #VolvoExplorers space unique is how it blends arts-driven exploration with technology and innovation. Kids can step into the shoes of designers, builders, and safety inspectors through a series of interactive stations.
The hero of the space is an “Explorer-Sized” version of the Volvo EX30 parked at an EV charging station. This installation serves as a hands-on learning tool.
Safety is Volvo’s bread and butter, and here, children get to experience a mini “Safety Check” of their own. By inspecting features like seatbelts, cameras, and car seats, they can check off safety checkpoints just like the rigorous process real Volvo cars go through before hitting the road.
The interactive magnetic road map wall invites kids to explore green initiatives with wooden cutouts of Volvo’s electric vehicle models, like the EX30 and EX40.
For budding designers, there’s an Ideation Chalk Wall where children can sketch out their car designs. With a material shelf filled with textiles, rubber, and acrylics, they’ll get to feel the real stuff that goes into building a car. Volvo’s eco-friendly materials are on display too.
To round off the experience, kids can throw on designer aprons and helmets, using tools to role-play as they design, assemble, and inspect their own vehicles. The large-scale Explorer-Sized Volvo Car acts as a tangible representation of their ideas coming together in full view.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with The Artground to create a space where children can explore big ideas about safety and sustainability,” said Corinne Chua, Managing Director at Volvo Wearnes. “At Volvo, improving safety for children is a key focus. Through these hands-on experiences, we hope to instil safety habits in a fun and educational way.”
The Artground Executive Director, Luanne Poh, echoed this enthusiasm, “Learning through play is essential for a child’s development. #VolvoExplorers is a wonderful opportunity to inspire children through creative arts while diving into important topics like sustainability and safety.”
The #VolvoExplorers space promises to be a rich, hands-on learning experience for children and their families.
