The Mobile Jockey Club MoCC is a multimedia-enhanced and interactive exhibition series. The second collection in the series, ‘Climate Change and Me’, consists of seven modules. They reveal how human activities and climate change are closely interlinked and promote important green concepts such as clean energy, a low-carbon lifestyle and sustainable development.
1. Cast Away on an Urban Heat Island
The urban heat island (UHI) effect caused by closely-packed clusters of buildings in thriving cities like Hong Kong makes us feel hotter than we should. Learn in 3D more about heat islands and their relationship with climate change through our hologram. Let’s learn what needs to be done to make our city breathe naturally again.
2. Cut Carbon Farm
We rightly expect scientists and governments to mitigate the effects of climate change. But we too must play our part, and we can each make a vital individual contribution. This augmented-reality module will tell you what you need to know about carbon emissions and the environmental impacts of food production. When we eat, let’s think about how our food choices will affect the climate and the wellbeing of future generations.
3. Green and Clean
Want to give yourself a break? Let’s play games. This module uses multimedia games to show nature’s power at work in tree planting, wind and solar energy. Beat your friends and become greenwinners.
The Earth’s climate has changed continuously throughout history. With augmented-reality technology, this module walks you through the dramatic history of climate change in 3D, showing how the international community first became aware of the threat posed by global warming, and what it is doing now to meet this threat.
5. Time Machine
Remote-sensing technological advances have enabled scientists to monitor and better understand changes in the Earth’s system on a global scale. This hologram explores climate change in time and space in terms of atmospheric carbon dioxide, global temperature, Arctic sea ice extent and changes in the masses of the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets.
Glaciers, which consist of masses of compressed snow laid down year after year, preserve a detailed record ofclimatic change stretching back into the distant past. Scientists have been able to reveal details of the earth’s climate history over the past 800,000 years by drilling into the ice sheets and analysing the ice cores collected. This module reveals the secrets of the ice cores.
7. Arctic Moves
The Arctic is home to many different kinds of animals. Many of these animals are losing their habitats as a result of climate change, which is thinning the ice sheets and shrinking the coverage of sea ice. A warmer climate has allowed southern plant species to invade the Arctic region. Unless checked, this invasion will eventually replace the tundra with forests and make the land uninhabitable for many native animals. Let’s learn more about the different arctic animals and their characteristics and habits in this augmented-reality module.
The Exhibition Modules are available for loan, at no charge, by schools or organizations. Please submit a request by filling in the online registration form.
