Energy literacy is essential to build public support for a rapid transition to zero carbon power. Rebuilding the power system in the US is a two-decade plus project from the time it begins in earnest, and a rapid transition can only start with shared knowledge in classrooms and in public events. We’ve built a scalable tool, an easily distributed cooperative game pegged to location specific data, to teach students about the massive changes needed in how we produce and use energy.Our collaborative game, ENERGETIC, has expanded to classes in 20 public high schools in NYC, to a dozen private schools including the Nueva School, and to 30 universities around the world, including Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Vanderbilt, University College Dublin, and IIT Madras. The game has been featured in The New York Times, and was presented at AGU24, the principal conference for climate researchers. With this method, players of all ages can learn how to decarbonize New York with accurate, updatable real world information, scaling from a 2.5 hr game to a month long series of workshops. We’re exploring the replication of the game format to other cities and regions, and have discussions underway with SMUD, the public utility for Sacramento.
