Hello, fellow escapists.
I find myself in the position of researching, as an intern, for a post-doc at my university who is working on developing games to teach marine conservation principles to children. I'm wondering if any escapists have recommendations for games that can effectively teach ecological or conservation principles, or even any thoughts on the process of using games to teach about social, environmental, or any of the whole host of other issues that we find ourselves addressing in modern society.
While I'd certainly appreciate topical responses, as they'll not in the least make my job easier, I welcome this thread becoming a general "games doing good" type of discussion.
