Climate Change Game Jam, with A.R. Siders Doing Our Bit

    • Games

Professor A.R. Siders, Director of the Climate Change Science and Policy Hub at the University of Delaware, is the teacher of climate adaptation policy and climate fiction who this year found herself organizing a climate game jam.

Clayton called her up to discuss how games can help make the future concrete enough that we can plan for it, what it means to set up an academic game jam and how games can be judged not just on their reach and appeal, but how well they teach their subject matter.



Since this recording, the game jam winners have been announced and can be found here:
