How to use

  • The simulation can be conducted both online and in-person, runs for 2-4 hours, and works best with groups of 20-50 participants though it can accommodate various sizes. It’s suitable for diverse educational contexts from high school to graduate level, and can serve as a standalone workshop, course module, or culminating experience.
  • Facilitators should familiarize themselves with the En-ROADS simulator and game mechanics. The resource includes comprehensive facilitation materials and guides to support implementation.

Teaching format tip

Simulation/Serious Game

Establish clear learning objectives before gameplay and debrief systematically afterward. Students should document decision-making processes, unexpected outcomes, and strategic adaptations during play. Use multiple rounds to test different approaches and compare results. Connect game mechanics to real-world systems, helping students transfer insights from virtual to actual contexts.
