We Need Energy! - An Educational Energy Game

The city runs on power, but the system behind it isn’t limitless. Energy is complex, costly, and crucial.

Now, a new generation is learning how it really works, solar, coal, wind, and more. The future won’t just need power; it’ll need people who understand it.

But deep in the data, something hidden waits: Project B1.


A breakthrough? A failsafe? Or something no one’s ready for?

 

Gameplay

“We Need Energy!” was an interdisciplinary project designed to educate high school students in Bavaria about energy sources, their environmental impact, and associated costs.

Developed in collaboration with Stadtwerke Weilheim, the project followed strict pedagogical guidelines to ensure that the educational content was presented in a clear and age-appropriate manner.

The game was tested in two high school classes. After playing, students completed evaluation forms to assess the game’s educational effectiveness and their understanding of the material.
