Ideum is working with the ABQ BioPark and the New Mexico BioPark Society to create educational exhibits for the new Penguin Chill Exhibition. The exhibition focuses on penguins’ lives and how climate change is making their lives harder. During their visit, BioPark guests will take on the role of scientists on an expedition to research penguins. Guests will visit the Research Vessel BioPark where they can board a simulated icebreaker, investigate detailed 3D penguin models, and collect virtual data from Antarctica. They can also make remote calls from the vessel to scientists doing actual research on Antarctic conservation. More on the exhibition.
