亂入小小建築師體驗樂園 / Crashing the Kids' Architect Experience Camp

俗話說，孩童是國家未來的主人翁，他們承載著社會的希望與夢想，每個孩童都是父母們的寶貝，所以，父母往往不吝惜於發掘孩童的各種才藝的機會，各式各樣的才藝班與體驗營也應運而生，讓孩子能在學科以外，發展多元興趣與潛能。

某天，我被一陣陣的歡笑聲，吸引到一座廣場，是我經常路過的愛廣場，這時候，愛廣場已經不是樂高積木樂園，或是網紅品牌快閃店，它變身為一座建築師體驗樂園，半大不小的男孩及女孩，在現場人員的引導下，穿上工地反光背心，操作著挖土機，執行挖掘、平整和拆除等作業，哇！主辦單位去那裏找來這麼大的挖土機玩具，假如我是孩童的話，真的會很想玩一下，對父母而言，最重要的是留下數張孩童穿上工地服裝，認真工作的可愛照片。

而氣墊遊戲區更是吸引了無數孩子的目光，這些氣墊像是童話中的城堡，有滑梯、有跳跳床，還有隧道和障礙關卡，就是一座冒險樂園，一進到氣墊後，孩子們就像是脫韁的野馬，自由奔跑、跳躍、翻滾，有些孩童，和朋友玩著你追我跑的遊戲，有些則努力爬上高高的氣墊塔，挑戰自己的勇氣，我被吸引來的歡笑聲，就是從這裡傳出去的，只要一座氣墊樂園，就能讓孩子們的笑聲不斷。

體驗營能讓孩子在短時間內接觸不同領域，從中發現自己的熱情所在，當然，說是體驗營，我覺得還是遊戲的成分居多，不過現場擬真縮小版的挖土機、伐木機、大鋼牙抓物機、伸縮臂吊車等，真的能讓孩童體驗真實建築工地作業的樣態，或許未來的建築大師，正是這群今天勇敢築夢的小小建築師。

There’s a saying that children are the future leaders of a nation because they carry the hopes and dreams of society. To parents, their kids are precious, so they’re always eager to explore their talents. That’s why there are so many talent classes and experience camps nowadays, giving kids the chance to explore different interests outside of school.

One day, I was passing by a plaza I often walk through—Love Plaza—when I heard bursts of laughter. But this time, it wasn’t a LEGO playground or a pop-up shop for some trendy brand. It had transformed into a mini architect experience park. Boys and girls, slightly older than toddlers but not yet teens, were putting on reflective vests under the guidance of staff and operating miniature construction vehicles. They were digging, leveling, and demolishing like little pros. I couldn’t help but wonder where did the organizers even find such realistic toy excavators? Honestly, if I were a kid, I’d definitely want to try! Of course, for the parents, the best part was snapping a few adorable shots of their little ones “at work” in construction gear.

Even more eye-catching was the inflatable play zone. These bouncy castles looked like they came straight out of a fairy tale—complete with slides, trampolines, tunnels, and obstacle courses. Once inside, the kids were like wild ponies; they are running, jumping, tumbling freely. Some were chasing each other, others were climbing tall inflatable towers to test their courage. The laughter that first caught my attention? Definitely coming from here. Sometimes, all it takes is one inflatable playground to fill the air with joy.

Experience camps like this give kids a chance to explore new things and maybe even discover a passion. Sure, it’s mostly playtime in disguise, but with all the realistic mini excavators, cranes, and machines, it’s a surprisingly hands-on glimpse into real construction work. Who knows? Maybe the next great architect is one of these adventurous little builders dreaming big today.
