Water's Journey through the Everglades travels across time and space to witness the transformation of the earth to create the most unique habitat in the world, the Florida Everglades. The Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS) in Ft. Lauderdale and the Media Convergence Laboratory (MCL) at the University of Central Florida will develop learning enhancements for MODS' new EcoDiscovery Wing expansion project. Guests at MODS will explore the complexities and diversity of life that make up the creation, destruction and restoration of the Florida Everglades, and embark on an adventure spanning millions of years. Water's Journey will develop learning enhancement scenarios for the upcoming expansion at MODS. The unique learning experiences will integrate scientific data from national research institutions and apply state-of-the-art scientific virtualization tools to create customized learning experiences that allow visitors to explore the scale and timing of environmental change. Project partners include the Institute for Learning Innovation, the Orlando Science Center, and Simiosys, LLC.
