New Epcot exhibit looks at innovation, flow of data in everyday life; collaboration with IBM

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - Epcot is opening a new exhibit focusing on the process of innovation.

Tourists will begin passing through the 6,600-square-foot IBM THINK attraction on Wednesday.

The exhibit includes a 40-foot wall that illustrates the ebb and flow of data in everyday life, including visualizations of traffic, air quality and credit card fraud detection systems.

IBM has also developed companion lesson plans for middle and high school students that visit the exhibit.
