Game tables

Three interactive game tables themed around food, energy, and water allow visitors to play a ten-player game and make various choices to create enough of each resource for California.

Media wall

Along the left side of the room is a 50-foot-long media wall displaying underwater ocean scenes and a stream of bubbles with icons floating from left to right. This projection wall is interactive, so visitors can touch the bubbles to display an ocean fact or sustainable innovation.

Population column

The first exhibit visitors encounter in the culmination gallery is a tall column equipped with digital displays of real-time global population data and food, energy, and water consumption. The column also has displays activated by buttons to show population projections into the future. One side looks at the global population, and the other side covers California.

Pocket Theater

A mini-theater located near the culmination gallery exit plays a short film on a large flatscreen array. The film addresses the levers we can move to make a global change (our choices regarding food, energy, and water), and the fulcrum (the internet and social media, which provide opportunities to form global communities for action).
