Expedition in a Box

EXPEDITION IN A BOX is a playful science experience that transforms a traditional medium, the puzzle, into a technology-empowered, animated space for intergenerational discovery and exploration of key environmental concerns, such as our understanding of and relationship with ice. Move your phone over the shapes you create, following the instructions on a beautiful set of cards, and be amazed by stunning animations and breathtaking insights into how science studies and communicates about ice in the face of climate change – its past, its growing fragility and its hopeful future. A box that makes ice science and research accessible anywhere, anytime! A box that can be found in museums, festivals, shops and even schools. And this is just the beginning of a series of EXPEDITIONS IN A BOX that will also take you deep into the
ocean and into outer space, with the aim of raising environmental awareness through
awe and wonder, technology and play.
