Science Centre Singapore unveils its latest exhibition ‘Climate Changed’ curated to highlight the real and present threat of the climate crisis, consequences of inaction, and sustainable steps that you can take to counter its impact.
Climate Changed Exhibition
Climate Changed is the Centre’s biggest gamified exhibition experience to date, as part of its strategy to lower barriers to understanding complex topics, and in turn increase guest engagement. In addition, the exhibition puts into direct practice the lessons it seeks to teach, with the space built using environmentally friendly materials like Oriented Strand Boards. The experience is also designed to facilitate updating of content with minimal waste generated.
Climate Changed is the third edition of Science Centre’s climate change campaign experience, with the first exhibition launched in 2008 for public education on the developing state of climate phenomena, and the second launched in 2014 to foster personal environmental stewardship.
Climate Action Show
Consisting of two parts, the exhibition opens with The Climate Action Show – a 20-minute production by Science Centre Singapore and Science North – Canada’s leading interactive science museum – documented to educate guests on the basics of climate science.
The show features four local and foreign climate scientists, who discuss their work on sustainability-based research. Also making an appearance are five local and foreign advocates who have spearheaded efforts against climate change. Together, these speakers encourage you to take action against climate change.
Guilt Trip
The Climate Action Show then leads to Guilt Trip. Inspired from board games, Guilt Trip takes you on a “road trip” through five themed zones – Water Consumption, Food Waste & Food Production, Technology & Electricity Consumption, Recyclability & Sustainability, and Emissions – to learn more about sustainability in everyday situations. These include fun facts about food production in Singapore, and some highlights of the Singapore Green Plan 2030.
At the end of the gaming arena, you can obtain a “Climate Driver’s License” – a scorecard showing your proficiency at climate action, as well as a list of sustainability tips for daily application.
The permanent exhibition will be officially opened to public on 21 October 2022, and admission is complimentary with every Science Centre Singapore ticket.
