A new exhibit created in part by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology studying the impacts of climate change, is set to open March 2 at the Worcester EcoTarium.
The exhibit, named Seasons of Change, Global Warming in Your Backyard, uses touch-screen computers to allow visitors to make decisions about energy usage around the world. Then, the effects of those decisions are calculated out until the year 2075 to see what the impact would be.
The program was developed by a partnership between MIT, MIT’s Sloan School of Management, the New England Sciences Center Collaborative, the Sustainability Institute, Brown University and the Environmental Defense Fund. It will run through mid-June.
