Escaping Doom: Transforming Science into Experience
Description:
We know that climate change is real. Data is the language of science, however, data alone is often incomprehensible to the average person. This panel and our real-life experiential escape room makes scientific findings accessible and encourages informed discussion and decision making by all. At UT Austin, leveraging existing data and expertise, we're developing an escape room to explore how scientific research can be integrated into an engaging, entertaining and educational storytelling experience.
