This travelling exhibit for the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo tackled the complex and fascinating topic of the development of quantum information science and technology in the 21st century.

To mark Canada’s 150th birthday, five of the country’s top science organizations joined together in a year-long, nationwide celebration of Canada’s innovative past, and exciting future, called Innovation 150. As an integral part of the celebration, the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing engaged Lord Cultural Resources, ASTOUND Group and ngx to develop, design and build a travelling exhibition that crossed the country.

The exhibition conveys to audiences across the country, through dynamic interactives and engaging content, how quantum information science and technology is here today and will revolutionize tomorrow. The exhibition covered key topics including Quantum Entanglement, Quantum Computing and Cryptography through hands-on and gamified experiences. Our role included digital visitor experience planning, interpretive framing, interactive design as well as fabrication suitable for a travelling exhibit.
