We are a team of three high schoolers from Redmond. Over the course of a year, we have developed a climate change strategy game that we believe will have a positive impact on society. We aim to educate youth about the consequences of their actions on the environment and potential alternatives.

In essence, our game is a simulation of the Earth. Players have to make the switch from fossil fuels to renewable resources all while meeting the energy demands of a growing population and managing worldwide funds. The crux of the strategical and educational elements is in the Perks, a tiered system of upgrades for both nonrenewable and renewable energies. While we could go on describing our game, we feel it would be best for you to check it out on the Google Play Store yourself at http://tinyurl.com/jerx38k (we are in the process of publishing for iOS as of now).

All of us go to Tesla STEM High School, where we receive more education about climate change than most schools around the nation. We hope to enhance climate change education in other schools, as well, by giving our game freely to all teachers who wish to use it. Our goal is to educate youth on the complex ideas surrounding climate change from environmental, political and economic perspectives and tackle the grand challenges of engineering in the 21st century. Code Carbon is our contribution to achieving these objectives.
