NOVA

Cooperative mobile game for energy literacy

NOVA is a cooperative mobile game designed to help teenagers understand energy systems and plan for a net-zero future. It transforms complex concepts like demand, costs, and emissions into shared decisions and mini-games. Players negotiate trade-offs, enhancing their confidence and agency. Unlike most competitors, NOVA emphasizes face-to-face dialogue and requires collaboration between two players, fostering discussions that extend beyond the game.

JURY STATEMENT

Nova offers a valuable learning platform for social science education, helping students grasp the complexity of implementing energy systems across local, national, and international contexts, and understand the crucial role of politics, planning, investments, technology, and science.
