Come on Kids! Play with Climate Program
BA Major Design Semester
2020/21 SS When a ray of sun enters our atmosphere, it often gets trapped by polluting substances produced by humans. These invisible obstacles make it harder for these rays to escape our atmosphere. This phenomenon is called the greenhouse effect and is one of the major causes of global warming. The game “Free the Sun” was inspired by a pre-existing game called Vertical Maze. The player is asked to pull a ray of sun (represented by a yellow ball) to the top of the panel using precision and balance, avoiding the holes shaped as toxic chemicals. When the ball falls into one of these holes, the ray returns back to earth and has to try to escape again. This game can be played by one or two players at once.
A project made in the course
Come on Kids! Play with Climate
Children will build the world of tomorrow. A world that could be very different from the world that we live today, due to the environmental crisis of the last decades. The course “Come on Kids! Play with Climate” contributes to the education of designers able to work against what Indian writer Amitav Ghosh has described as “The Great Derangement”.
