Professor Thomas Malone and Robert Laubacher of MIT's Center for Collective Intelligence lead a hands-on, interactive session at the MIT Museum, exploring how the collective intelligence of thousands of people (including you) can be harnessed to address global climate change.

Have a chance to play with the Climate Collaboratorium – an innovative on-line forum inspired by systems like Wikipedia and Linux – in which you can explore the impacts of proposed climate change policies, engage in on-line (and at the Museum, in-person) debates, and register your opinion on what we humans should do about global climate change.

The Collaboratorium is one project in MIT's Center for Collective Intelligence, whose primary research question is, How can people and computers be connected so that – collectively – they act more intelligently than any individuals, groups, or computers have ever done before? This event is in conjunction with the exhibition Sampling MIT.

Bring your laptop to use the system live. A limited number of MIT Museum computers will also be made available.
