Story of a City

This is an educational game meant to teach 5-7th graders a bit about climate change and some ways we can mitigate it at the societal level. It is intended to be a pretty light introduction to some of the challenges we face trying to balance the needs of society against the consequences of a warmer world.

Select different tools on the right side to help grow your city and meet your citizens needs (depicted on a panel on the top-left). Each tool has a Budget cost, and some also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Over time, too much greenhouse gas will cause a gradual rise in the surface temperature, which in turn leads to harmful environmental effects that will hurt your city.
