“Candy Aggregate Sensorium”
This Candy Aggregate Sensorium acts as both a visitor center and an interactive, hands-on museum for Levy Aggregates Company, which supplies aggregates for concrete production. The Sensorium encourages active participation and learning as guests mimic the crushing process of rocks into aggregates by using edible rock candies instead. Participants conduct a series of activities using movement such as jumping, rolling, climbing, reaching, and turning. These actions crush, collect, dry, and grind their large rock candies into small, bite-size rock candies. Ultimately, participants end with rock candies similar in size to the actual rock aggregates piled outside and adjacent to the Sensorium.
