DESCRIPTION
Summative evaluation report for the Mission Future: Arizona 2045 exhibition.
Mission Future: Arizona 2045 is a 2,500 square foot interactive exhibition developed by Arizona State University (ASU) in collaboration with Arizona Science Center, NASA, and numerous additional local and national partners. Mission Future integrates authentic Earth and space science, imaginative storytelling, an immersive environment, and hands-on activities to explore what Arizona might be like in the year 2045. Told through the perspective of five diverse characters from the future, the exhibition explores some of the ways climate change will affect life on our home planet, as well as some of the opportunities future humans will have to study, live, and work off Earth. Prompted by an inquisitive AI character, visitors reflected on and shared their own ideas, values, and priorities as they progressed through the exhibition, growing their understanding of how they can participate in Earth and space science and contribute to a collective vision for the future. The exhibition opened in February, 2023 for long-term display at the Arizona Science Center.
