Boynton Beach is taking on climate challenges with creativity and focus, and we’re proud to support that work.
Together with local leaders like Alannah Irwin and Poonam Kalkat, we’re co-creating an immersive storytelling experience that lifts up community-driven solutions to coastal flooding and urban heat. It’s accessible online and in VR, and designed to reflect the knowledge and voices of people on the ground. These kinds of tools help shift conversations. They let residents, planners, and policymakers step into real local futures and understand how choices today shape what’s coming next.
We’re working in other communities too: Stinson Beach, Santa Cruz, Ventura, and Morro Bay in California; Miami and Fort Lauderdale in Florida; and several along the Maryland and Delaware coast. Each place is unique. Each collaboration is built through a process of co-creation, deep listening, and shared goals.
Want to learn more or see how immersive storytelling could support your community? We’re always looking for ways to support people doing this kind of work. Explore our current projects here.
