About the system earth game
How well do you know our planet?
Most of us don't know it well. Planet earth is home to many different natural and man-made complex systems such as our oceans, our atmosphere, our economy and so on. Only a balanced interaction between all of them can guarantee our survival and well-being on the long-run. Our planet is at risk as we speak with tremendous drops in biodiversity, climate change, loss of forest area, etc.
We believe that through educating younger generations, the notion of sustainability can be understood earlier in life thus influencing positively our decisions as teenagers and young adults. We feel that learning in an interactive way - for example by playing a game - is what motivates people and keeps them curious. It's fun, fast and usually brings a smile on your face. That's pretty much it.
Who are we?
We are future Industrial Ecologists studying in the Netherlands and we have developed this website and game based on a project in our master's course. Leave us your thoughts on the bottom of our home page!
We have created this website and a kahoot! game to be used in classrooms across the world as a means to test the knowledge of students. Our questions are based on peer-reviewed scientific knowledge, not just on newspaper articles.
Thank you...
...for exploring the System Earth Game! We hope you enjoy playing our game but above all, we hope you've learned something from it. So the next time you end up in a fiery debate about the current status of our blue marble at your parent's dinner table, you can tell them the facts. We also hope to have encouraged you to learn more in general about this amazing world that we live in.
Here's short presentation of what was our initial aim.
