In this dynamic workshop, students become game designers with a mission—to create games that inspire real-world environmental action. Starting with a personal ecological footprint assessment, students will develop original game concepts that reflect sustainability themes and eco-friendly choices.
Using platforms like Scratch or Tynker, they’ll dive into coding and explore essential game design elements like storytelling, gameplay mechanics, and user experience. As they bring their games to life, they’ll build skills in programming, creativity, and problem-solving.
