IBM Think Exhibit Opens at Innoventions at Epcot

In celebration of National Engineers Week, IBM (NYSE: IBM) teamed up with Orlando-area high school teachers and students today to unveil IBM Think, a new interactive experience in Innoventions West at Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort.

The 6,600 square-foot interactive exhibit is designed to showcase how the world can work better with the help of technology and innovation. The Think experience presented by IBM explores how technology transforms the way we live and work.

To keep visitors inspired after experiencing the exhibit and encourage others to attend, IBM also announced free science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) lesson plans for middle and high school science teachers, along with a companion app for Apple iPads and 10″ Android tablets.

The lesson plans enable teachers to use the IBM Think exhibit content to help students understand the process of innovation, while the Think Exhibit app brings those lessons to life.

The Think exhibit engages visitors through a unique combination of experiences. They include a 40-foot “gesture wall” that reveals the ebb and flow of data in our daily lives through colorful visualizations of information such as traffic, solar energy and air quality.

IBM is also providing game stations, an inspirational film about making the world work better, and a self-guided interactive tour.  The exhibit shows how progress is made possible by a combination of people and technology, and by the purposeful way humans have approached the process of innovation.

“During the past century, IBM has played a key role in making the world work better,” said Lee Green, VP Brand Experience and Strategic Design at IBM. “The Think exhibit features stories and engaging experiences that appeal to Epcot guests from around the world.”

Innoventions is located in the heart of Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
