Autodesk and the PoLAR Partnership announce the launch of the Games for
Change Climate Challenge. The challenge is to create a game focused on
scientifically-grounded climate solutions such as preventing carbon
emissions, preparing for impacts, and/or promoting public awareness and
understanding.
Games can help inspire curiosity, optimism, and problem-solving, all of
which are crucial elements in the collective impact to address climate
change. The winning game will be engaging, entertaining, and empowering,
allowing players to learn more about climate change and to better
understand what they and others can do to make a difference.
No game development experience is necessary to submit an entry--all
experience levels are encouraged to participate! Scientists, educators,
and students are especially encouraged to create and submit a digital
game prototype that focuses on scientifically-grounded climate
solutions, such as preventing carbon emissions, preparing for the
impacts of climate change, and/or promoting public awareness and
understanding.
Four finalists will receive free travel and accommodations to present to
the jury, live, on stage at the Games for Change festival in New York
City from June 23 to 24, along with Festival passes from Games for
Change. One winner will receive a $10,000 prize to support development
of the game.
