Explore time portals with your magical radio and leap into the past, present, and future in The Great Solar Storm.

Did you hear about The Great Solar Storm that just happened? It has opened time portals all over Cinekid Festival. Grab a magical time traveling radio kit and explore! As you move through the MediaLab, you will hear voices from other times. Listen, follow, and join in! Move like an evolving dinosaur, morph and transform as an element, and communicate with dancing vibrations. Afterwards leave your impressions on the cosmic collage!
