Earth Tank (Digital Eco-sphere)

 

“Earth Tank” is an educational interactive digital eco-sphere, which displays a slice of Earth—just like a slice of cake in a dish—to help us think with mini-scale of our world instead of the original one, because it is easier for ordinary people, especially children, to learn and understand.

 

In the beginning of this interactive digital eco-sphere, you will see a piece and green, untouched land in the center, along with many icons on the bottom of the screen. In each icon presents a specific species. You can select any of these icons and drag it onto the land, and it will turn into the creature and start interacting with the environment and other creatures. Whenever you do this, you can check the percentage of the ecological harmony which is shown on the right bottom corner. However, please note that the species cannot be removed once you drag them onto the land.

 

Due to the unique characteristic each species has, their existence will change the harmony of ecological system. For instance, when there are too many cattle living in the same area, the gas they produce will rise the temperature up and make the climate warmer. People will learn various relationships between different species by manipulating this interactive digital eco-sphere.

 

Surprisingly, you will find a certain species with a great deal of destructive power, but with the very weak ability to survive in the destructed world. The ecological system will be seriously damaged after this species appears on this land. And the damage they cause are often beyond repaired. Eventually, this species will bring their own extinction to themselves. However, most of other species are able to adapt and survive, and they can even gradually bring the harmony back to the ecological system.

 

Isn’t this interesting? There are more fascinating things for you to discover. Let's create a harmonic ecological system with our own hands!
