Ocean Park Experiential Learning Project (PGDE) – Pop-up Narration

Background of co-organiser

Ocean Park is Hong Kong’s unique home grown theme park with a heritage of delivering family fun and fond memories. Since its opening in January 1977 as a non-profit organisation, Ocean Park has developed itself to be a world-class attraction connecting people with nature, and gained consistent recognition for its animal husbandry, research and relationship with the community. More than 130 million people have visited Hong Kong’s premier park since its inception, and Ocean Park has remained committed to offering adults and children experiences that blend entertainment with education and conservation. Being the education arms of Ocean Park, Discovery & Education Department had been providing quality Science and Conservation offerings to schools and the public since 1992.

Project details

Participating students would help to design and organise some pop-up narrations for Ocean Park’s guests, with the goal to enhance the in-park guests’ experiences with experiential learning elements. Students are expected to:

  • Collect visitors’ interests through conducting survey in the Park;
  • Design and organise in-park pop-up narrations according to guests’ interest; and
  • Trial-run and modify the designed narrations in response to feedback from visitors. (The final output will be placed on display for visitors at Ocean Park.)
