This exhibit is an in-depth experience focused on tomorrow’s energy landscape—and the possibilities, the opportunities and steps we can all take to create a more sustainable future.

Using a state-of-the-art, multi-player visual simulation created with real-world data, Future Energy Chicago engages students and guests in a facilitated one-of-a-kind experience to explore creative solutions to our most critical energy challenges. Teams compete in five, fast-paced simulation activities to design a future car, future house, future neighborhood, future transportation and future power for Chicago. Along the way, they try to earn “energy points” for their tanks and emerge the winner.
