I think this is a great place for us to start playing!
NPR's "Climate Connections" produced a series of broadcasts about Climate Change and one broadcast in the series involved the playing of a theory/ thought concept game called "Stabilization Wedges." The premise of the game being, "Your job is to save the world — by keeping carbon emissions flat over the next 50 years."
The game uses wedge shaped pieces that players must choose from or not choose from to implement today's technologies to reduce the CO2 emissions. "You have to get rid of these wedges. And to do that, you have options. To be precise, you have 15 of today's technologies, such as fuel efficient cars or nuclear power."
This game was created by Princeton professors, "to convince people that we already have the tools to solve the climate problem (at least for the next 50 years)."
So this is a great place to begin game playing in my classroom. I can also integrate with the computer sci class to create the game in a digital format that could be played by many others, and the score kept and discussions started.
