Energy Simulation

What does it look like to gamify a complex classroom project? In this alternative energy simulation in Physics and Honors Physics, high school students are advisors on the energy council for a country. Their teams represent the interests of one of seven different alternative energy industries all vying to have their industry be the next big thing. They must balance budgets, diplomacy, pollution, and the special interests of others to come out on top in this interconnected game designed by teacher Kevin Duong.
