Energy Use Game

[Cecilia Donnelly]

Using CPS and Climate Cycle data on school energy use, create an
interactive data visualization game that would allow students
(elementary and up) to create data flows and represent them with
images that they collect. Piles of school lunch trays being carried
away by trucks to represent waste? An apple rolling off barrels of
oil to show the energy consumption of our food system? Green the
school, using real data. This app/game would let kids take ownership
of their decisions and their school - it could even include a place
for kids to save their decisions on how to green the school and
compete to see who made the most energy savings. A key component of
the best version of this app would be kids' ability to choose visual
variables that made sense to them.
