As a result of a long term partnership with Mori Building Ltd, our Kindergarteners had an exclusive opportunity to explore the immersive environment at teamLab Borderless.

They learned how their actions could affect their surroundings, creating animals to populate the digital world and physically interacting with a changing ecosystem of light, color, sound and shape.
