Game break: ElectroCity
ElectroCity is a flash-based game designed to teach students “common knowledge” about energy sources and their environmental impacts. It’s also entertaining for adults… actually, it’s totally addictive. Think SimCity, but prettier and way more hip to the energy crisis.
The game was developed Genesis, a big energy company in New Zealand. Genesis is also awarding up to $10,000 of technology to the schools of the kids who do the best job of balancing green with growth.
Here’s a city built by 3 middle-schoolers, which won the first competition with a score of 96/100. I dunno how these kids did it… so far my best score is 84/100.
Check it out: Electrocity.
