The Science of Survival exhibition gives you glimpses of the world in 2050 and explores how we will all survive on a changing planet.

In this thought-provoking, interactive exhibition you, your family and friends will engage with some of the most important issues facing us today, including global resources, climate change, and our options for a sustainable future. You will be able to make some choices about the future and see how you could be living in the year 2050.

In Briefing at the start of the exhibition you will meet - Buz, Eco, Tek and Dug - four people from the city of 2050 who have found a way to communicate with you from the future. These four will provide guidance and advice as you tackle the challenges ahead.

The exhibition is divided into sections called Drinking, Eating, Enjoying, Moving and Building which look at what we need to survive and how changing climate and resources could affect our lives.  Amongst other things, you will explore new places to find water for the city of  2050, sit down to eat with other visitors and trade food for dinner, explore shopping in 2050, check out new vehicle technologies in a racing game and even design your own future home.

All the decisions you make along the way are included in the Future City at the end of the exhibition. You will see that we all make different choices based on our different priorities and that these will have major effects on the world of tomorrow.

Changing climate and resource availability mean the way we live will change, but we can make positive choices to affect our futures.
