OUR BELIEF
Play is the Highest Form of Research
—Albert Einstein
At Dotsss, we believe that play is not a break from learning—it is learning. Through play, children engage with the world and integrate their experiences and ideas. As advocates for child-centered education, we're committed to nurturing a lasting love of learning by creating environments where joyful, self-directed exploration is at the heart of every experience.
It Takes a Village to Raise a Child
— African Proverb
We believe that learning is a communal endeavor. At Dotsss, we bring together a diverse village of knowledge: scientists, artists, explorers, educators—each adding a unique "dot" to a child's world. United by a shared mission, we connect these dots to form rich, multidimensional experiences that help children grow with confidence and wonder. This belief is not just symbolic—it’s our name, and it’s our way of building a collaborative learning ecosystem where every child's potential is supported and celebrated.

PROGRAMS
Spark Playful Connections Between Curiosity and the Wonders of Our World!
Hands-On Crafting
Our vibrant public spaces host ongoing interactive workshops and craft activities. Through tactile exploration of diverse materials, children activate their sensory perception and tactile cognition. Creative "imperfections" encountered during the process – like blended colors or reshaping forms – provide a safe experimental field for embracing setbacks, nurturing resilience and fostering constructive self-reflection. The aesthetic thrill of balancing hues and sculpting structures triggers dopamine release, creating a joyful feedback loop that continually sparks children’s curiosity and sustained engagement.
Interactive Theater
Step into wonder at our 270° triple-screen wraparound theater, where original 3D storytelling merges with interactive edutainment. Children explore folklore realms through dazzling visuals while intuitively absorbing concepts of spatial awareness and narrative logic. Complementing this flagship experience, five additional immersive theaters spark curiosity through cutting-edge soundscapes and motion-responsive projections, offering distinct sensory journeys that ignite both imagination and critical thinking.
Engaging Experiences
The museum’s dynamic programming acts as a catalytic hub, forging cross-sector partnerships to fuel multidimensional exploration. Through these converging experiences, young minds intuitively grasp complex global interconnections while celebrating cultural multiplicity.
EDUCATION
Visiting Scholars Program
As China’s first socially co-created children’s museum, Dotsss believes in intergenerational learning. Inspired by the proverb, 'It takes a village to raise a child,' we partner with experts, institutions, and businesses to 'translate' complex ideas into joyful, child-centered experiences.
