Your kids are invited to embark on an unforgettable gaming experience that not only promises fun but also fosters a mindset of sustainable thinking.
In this innovative video game, participants will step into the shoes of road planners, tasked with the challenge of balancing the intricacies of road design with a strong emphasis on sustainability.

Each game presents a unique scenario, encouraging players to consider the impact of their decisions on historical sites, biodiversity, and the integration of creativity into existing road networks. By navigating through these challenges, participants will not only hone their strategic thinking skills but also develop a heightened awareness of the importance of sustainable practices in engineering.
Following the gaming session, players will engage in a quick quiz to test their newfound knowledge. The experience extends beyond the screen as participants share their game experiences and lessons learned in small group discussions. To commemorate this enriching event, each participant will be gifted a special souvenir, serving as a tangible reminder of their exploration into sustainable engineering.
