Problem
Many educational resources on ecology and climate science fail to engage learners effectively, particularly in illustrating the complex interactions within environmental systems and the impact of potential solutions. Traditional teaching methods often lack the interactive and collaborative elements needed to foster a deep understanding of climate challenges.
Solution
Clean Earth Future addresses this gap by developing game-based learning tools, such as Climate Cooldown, that simulate intricate environmental systems and challenges. In Climate Cooldown, players collaborate to reduce global emissions by investing in sustainable power, divesting from unsustainable power sources, and implementing climate solutions. The game presents players with disasters and requires them to work together to restore the land and ocean, ensuring a livable planet for the future.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes educators in elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and colleges, as well as homeschoolers and gamers interested in learning about climate science and environmental issues.
Features
- Cooperative gameplay for 2-4 players, promoting teamwork and strategic decision-making
- Simulation of global carbon emissions dynamics and the impact of various power sources
- Investment in sustainable solutions ("Cooldowns") to restore land and ocean health
- Disaster scenarios that challenge players to adapt and find solutions
- Diplomacy and resource management to address complex climate challenges
- "Normal" and "Hard" modes of gameplay, increasing the challenge as players progress
- Partnership with ONE TREE PLANTED, with a donation made for every game purchased to support reforestation
