Geraint Rhys Whittaker 's 2024 Falling Walls Engage Winner Project is Ocean Science Jam.

The Ocean Science Jam unites musicians, artists, dancers, and ocean researchers to creatively respond to real-time visual and acoustic cues based on marine science themes. This project emphasises co-creation over mere communication, fostering lasting public engagement. By encouraging fun, participatory interactions with ocean research, it aims to enhance public understanding and promote behavioural change for ocean conservation.
