About this Challenge Team

Join us for an immersive experience into the biodiversity across the eras of the Earth. From the roars of dinosaurs to the roar of cars, and the calls of an extinct bird to the song of a starling, we will transport you with audio and 360 images in a VR headset. Biodiversity has greatly changed throughout the history of the Earth, but nowadays it is changing much faster, and our soundscapes are suffering as a result. This project aims to draw attention to this fact, and to provide some hope of how a green city could look and sound in the future.

In June 24 we had a stall at the Big Bang Fair in Birmingham with VR headsets/headphones and extra activities. 20,700 young people from 352 schools visited, and we have been invited back for next year! In November 2024 we also had a stall at the Royal Institution for an event for 16-18 year-olds, co-hosted by the Grantham Institute and funded by NERC's 'Diversififying the Talent Pipeline' Initiative.
