How to use

Use as a digital lab for sustainability concepts. Assign group missions like designing low-carbon communities or creating water filtration systems. Facilitate reflection and sharing sessions. Adapt lessons to hybrid settings using screen-sharing. Integrate into project-based modules and assess understanding through in-game achievement and student reflections.

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.
