4. P3 Reflective statement
When I walked into the Energy Hall of the Science Museum, my eyes were instantly drawn to the 1903 Burnley Mill Engine. Its massive red flywheel—weighing around 20 tons—dominated the room, showing off the raw industrial power of that era. The exposed parts (pistons, crankshaft, and connecting rods) gave me a close-up look at the complex engineering behind Lancashire’s textile machines. The materials—cast iron, steel, and polished brass—felt solid and purposeful. Watching the flywheel move rhythmically (when operational) was mesmerizing—it showed how steam power smoothly turned into mechanical work. This dynamic display made me really appreciate the ingenuity behind the Industrial Revolution. Standing in front of this giant machine, I felt a mix of awe and reflection. It wasn’t just a piece of old tech—it symbolized human innovation and the relentless push for progress. It also made me think about the social changes it brought. I noticed all kinds of visitors—families, students, and enthusiasts—all captivated by the engine. Kids loved its size and movement, while adults dug into its history. It was cool to see how one machine could spark learning and conversations across generations. In the end, the Burnley Mill Engine isn’t just a relic—it’s a physical connection to our industrial past, and its spirit of innovation still inspires us today. SOme of those experience is designed especially for families and school- age teenager. That is for encouraging hands on interaction and generational conversation with people or explore their idea and skills. By collection many narratives and playful engagement, my aim is reframe these projects, not only about merely as relics, also as dynamic teaching tools. Like bridging past and present, or build the connect between machine and meaning. It is not only about project, it is more about power of museum. Through from above, I would like to learn or understanding more about museum, not just as spaces of preservation, but also platforms for imagination, empathy or discovery.
