Abstract:
|
Did you know that NOAA had online games? Visit them at http://games.noaa.gov. Serious games are games with purpose beyond entertainment. They are used for classroom learning and for policy and social change. Serious games are now used in national defense, science, advertising, business, education, and medical applications. Intelligently designed ‘serious games’ provide avenues for complex situations to be presented in a simple way. NOAA has entered the serious gaming world with the release of two games for children about estuaries and the management of loggerhead sea turtle populations. Learn about how these tools can help address key environmental challenges and reach a wider public and about an upcoming NOAA Simulation and Games Summit.
