▶Objectives
The goal of the project was to develop an educational tool to instil environmental consciousness in players/children, aged 10-12. By simulating real-life city planning scenarios, the game imparts essential knowledge about eco-friendly practices, resource management, and sustainable decision-making. The immersive experience encourages players to apply the acquired knowledge in their daily lives, fostering a sense of responsibility towards creating a greener and more sustainable world. City Building game allows players embark on a journey to create and manage their own virtual cities, with the ultimate goal of achieving high "Green" values, such as Air Quality, Recycling, Water Quality, and Life Quality. The CitiesGoGREEN initiative presents a way to leverage gamification and STEM education to teach children about environmental consciousness. By allowing them to simulate the development of "Green Cities," the game not only raises awareness about climate change but also empowers students to actively participate in finding solutions. This hands-on approach can inspire creativity and innovation while instilling a sense of responsibility for the environment.
