Think Swiss/MIT Museum Climate Change Walking Tour

Aug 06, 2008 10:38 AM



As part of the Cambridge Science Festival and within the framework of the ThinkSwiss program, swissnex Boston, the Swiss consulate, and the MIT Museum organized the second Climate Change Walking Tour.
Starting at the MIT Museum with some unique climate change demos, animations, and hands-on workshops especially for kids, the participants had a unique opportunity to learn about climate change science and solutions by walking the route through the MIT campus to various zones with interactive displays and experts. Despite of the rainy weather, lots of water proved attendees followed the competent tour guides.

In addition, each family or participant could calculate its own carbon footprint by walking the trail and replying to questions. A cool prop will allowed the participants to visually realize their footprints!
At the end, we offered to the first 200 finishers a “Green Swiss cookie” and an eco friendly gift. And of course also during the trail there was the occasion to taste various flavors of chocolate offered by Lindt.
