In partnership with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, MAC developed Jurassic Parking — an interactive experience that demonstrates the science behind our Matching Parking Supply to Travel Demand Towards Sustainability project (Cyber Physical Social System for Sensing Driven Parking).

Museum educators collaborated with the group to design instructional models and games. Game tokens and colored spheres symbolize carbon emissions, and participants navigate scenarios that show how data shapes decision-making. The exhibit was tested and refined inside the museum, where visitors shared feedback on which components they preferred and what to change.
