Our Goal

ClimatEG intends to teach contemporary methods in climate change mitigation to high school students in the 11th and 12th grades and college students in environmental science and economics studies.

Climate change mitigation refers to efforts to decrease or prevent greenhouse gas emissions. A teachable mitigation method is represented as a web-based, multi-party educational game. The game-play by student teams requires them to understand the background of the problem addressed by the mitigation method, decide on an optimized course of actions, and achieve measurable outcomes in greenhouse gas emissions reductions.

Mitigation topics selected for gamification are based on up-todate studies and research, or on recently implemented public policy. Such topics may not have found their ways into textbooks yet.

Our Motivation

Alumni and current computer science and engineering students of University of California, Berkeley are working hard towards producing a serious educational game to addressed critical issues in climate change mitigation. The game will allow both high school students and college students to be engaged, as they will be role-playing as the companies attempting to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the cost optimal way. This game is critical in bridging the knowledge gap on such topics not traditionally taught in school.
