- 2nd place: New Sun from Massimo Di Cesare (Columbia)
- 3rd place (tie): UnEarth from Robin Ghosh (Canada)
- 3rd place (tie): The Path from Hugo Gonçalves (Portugal)
- 4th place: What's Next?!? from Shelley Wilson (U.S.A.)
We
are excited to see such a diverse group of game developers and believe
the games reflect the diversity of their experiences. For this year's
contest we received entries representing 10 countries from 4 continents.

These
free resilience games will be available soon.
Before publishing
the games we will be incorporating changes suggested by the panel of
experts who served as contest judges and will also be collaborating with
education consultants to create supplemental resources for use by
educators in classrooms.
Thank you for sharing this with your groups!
Best,
- Drew
