We knew from the start that the game needed to represent the Drawdown Georgia solutions in a fun, easy-to-follow format, while also showcasing the science of the project. Marilyn Brown and a core group of Georgia Tech graduate students (Ollie Chapman, Max Koptik, and Chris Contos) cooperated to create the vision for the game. Work on game development began in the summer of 2021 and continued throughout the fall semester. We thought this activity would fit perfectly into the IGEL curriculum by promoting teamwork and collaboration while teaching players about Drawdown Georgia.Ĭollaborators and Work Process/Development The end goal was for the 2020/2021 IGEL Class to play this game at their annual summit meeting in Serenbe, GA, in January 2022.

IGEL is an experiential environmental education program that provides participants with knowledge, skills, and a professional network to solve Georgia’s environmental challenges. Anderson Foundation, and the Institute for Georgia Environmental Leadership (IGEL). The idea for the game was conceived in the summer of 2021 through a partnership of Georgia Tech faculty and graduate students, the Ray C. Published last year in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the article provided a great foundation to create the game materials. Marilyn Brown and others that details the science behind Drawdown Georgia’s high-impact solutions. The game was inspired by an article written by Dr.
The game offers players ages 12 and up an opportunity to learn about localized carbon reduction solutions that can reduce net emissions in Georgia. That’s the premise behind a new Drawdown Georgia Climate Solutions Card Game: an interactive, team-based approach to learning about the high-impact solutions of Drawdown Georgia. Education is key when it comes to scaling climate solutions, and can be even more effective when the content is delivered in a fun and engaging way.
