ICR DISCOVERY CENTER
Dallas, Texas
Breeze Creative partnered with the ICR Discovery Center in Dallas, Texas, to enhance its exhibits with engaging interactive experiences that help children and families explore the harmony between science and the Bible.
Animated Sandbox® in The Flood Exhibit
One of the highlights of the Global Flood exhibit is Animated Sandbox®, which gives children the opportunity to shape mountains and valleys with their own hands while visualizing topography and changing landscapes. Instead of simply reading about the effects of the global Flood, even the youngest visitors can interact with these ideas in an engaging, easy-to-understand way.
Draw Alive® in The Flood Exhibit
Also featured in the Global Flood exhibit, Draw Alive® encourages creativity while introducing visitors to biodiversity. Children create their own artwork and watch as it comes to life and swims across a large digital display, connecting imaginative play with the incredible diversity of life preserved through the global Flood.
Build Alive in the Grand Canyon Exhibit
Build Alive adds another layer of hands-on learning to the Grand Canyon exhibit. While parents and older visitors explore the science behind the canyon's formation, younger children can build marine life that inhabited Earth's oceans during the pre-Flood era and discover how these creatures are represented in the fossil record.
Animated Sandbox® in the Mount St. Helens Exhibit
Another Animated Sandbox® installation helps visitors explore geology through the example of Mount St. Helens. As children reshape mountains and valleys, the interactive landscape responds immediately, providing a visual demonstration of how dramatic geological changes can reshape an environment.
Making Complex Ideas Accessible
Across the exhibits, a common principle emerges: interaction can make complex subjects more accessible. Each experience uses a different form of participation—shaping, drawing, or building—but shares the same goal of encouraging visitors to learn by doing.
This approach is especially valuable for family audiences. Young children may not be ready for detailed explanations of geological processes, but they can begin understanding those concepts by manipulating a landscape and immediately seeing the results. Interactive technology provides another way to connect with educational content while encouraging curiosity and exploration.
Creating Experiences for the Whole Family
The collaboration with the ICR Discovery Center demonstrates how interactive technology can complement traditional museum interpretation. Children can explore the same subjects their parents and older siblings encounter through exhibit graphics, artifacts, models, and scientific information, but in a format designed around hands-on play.
Whether reshaping a mountain, building prehistoric marine life, or watching their own drawing swim across a screen, young visitors aren't simply being told about the world around them, they're actively discovering it.
