This project translates insights from a climate change survey conducted in our college into a tangible, engaging form of information visualisation. The goal was to represent public perception using data as visual votes through stackable blockssymbolising the building blocks of opinion. Two key themes emerged: levels of awareness about climate policies and the presence of hope. Initial iterations explored formats like a domino effect, dartboard, whack-a-mole, and perspective-based visuals. Eventually, a Jenga tower model was developed to effectively represent varying levels of awareness while encouraging interaction. The final outcome intersects the Jenga form with the symbolic act of casting votes, combining physical engagement with data interpretation to make abstract insights about climate change perception more relatable and accessible.
