The Oregon Zoo Exhibit

There is an amazing Polar Bear Exhibit at The Oregon Zoo in Portland. They reached out to us, because they wanted a way to give people the impression of how hard it is to for polar bears to swim when hunting for food, versus traveling by walking on ice. They use about 3 times more energy swimming, than they do walking. So we used our HUMAN POWER GENERATORS to design an interactive display that allows users to feel the difference that polar bears exert while walking vs. swimming. It is much harder to turn the hand cranks on the “swimming” side.

This is such a fun and interactive way to learn, and so far, the guests have been on the Human Power Generators non-stop!
