George: Learn a lot about water management and why it's important to have alternate water sources in case things happen in the future. It was really engaging. I liked the games that we played on the tablets.

Kevin: Yeah, I found it really fun. My favourite parts were collaborating with other teams and meeting up at the big screen.
Dan: I think this is really part of the next level of interactivity in terms of engagement with gaming. And I guess having a look around the worry precincts in terms of what, you know, the facilities here and how it all came about, maybe get them to think what decisions were made.
