ABOUT US

ABOUT THE AUTHORS AND THE PROJECT

We are students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), located in Worcester, Massachusetts. As part of our degree requirement, we completed a project in Social Sciences in Thessaloniki, Greece. The goal of this project was to educate Greek students on the topic of climate change, specifically using serious games as educational tools. The booklet approaches different topics that explore relationships between society and climate change. We hope to empower the future generation in order to mitigate climate change, adapt to its effects and be resilient for the years to come.

Eleni Anastasopoulou, a graduate student studying Geology at Aristotle University, acted as our co-researcher throughout this project. Eleni contributed valuable insight, dedicated hours of hard work and effort and translated for us throughout the project.
