Three unique exhibits about ice and weather, featured in the Environment Gallery at Edmonton's only science centre.
01
The Weather-Makers Lab
Part of the Storm Trackers exhibit, this challenging game teaches the conditions needed to create different kinds of weather such as thunderstorms, snowstorms, and other extreme weather systems over the city of Edmonton.

Awards — CASCADE Award (Canadian Association of Science Centres)
02
Polar Ice Cap Projection
To draw attention to climate change and melting ice caps, this motion-tracking experience was created for the Ice Detectives exhibit. The simple goal is to stay on the ice as it breaks apart and shrinks. As visitors walk around, polar bear footprints appear on the ice and turn to splashes on the water.

03
Ice Core Interactive
Mounted on rails over three encased ice core models, this display serves as a giant magnifying glass to be moved along the ice core. While always showing a highly detailed view of the ice, facts and quiz questions pop up on screen at certain points to share what scientists have learned from studying drilled ice cores.
Role — UX/UI design, icon illustration
Hardware — 46" reader rail screen with wall mounted echo screen
