CLES120 HM - Games for Climate Change Literacy

Credit(s): 3

Instructor(s): Kirabo

Offered: Spring

Description: Students will learn to use human-computer interaction methodologies, behavioral theories, and the transformational framework to design climate change literacy games with the intention of inspiring positive behaviorial change in players. Each game will be grounded in climate change literature for the rationale and arguments students make about different game design decisions. An example of a transformational game is Wingspan, for which there is anecdotal evidence of players becoming bird and nature enthusiasts because of the game?s influence. Prerequisite: CSCI005 HM. The course may build on CORE079 HM, CSCI181AMHM, or coursework in environmental analysis, but does not require it. There will be no coding in this class. Juniors and seniors only.
