Sketchtopia

The exhibit, which is sponsored by Virginia Tech, invites visitors on a journey through a floor-to-ceiling projection of a sunny cartoon landscape, along with a control panel where visitors can experiment with air quality simulation by adding their own sources of pollutants. The exhibit will also feature a coloring book station where visitors can draw and create their own components to add to the simulation.
