Seed Grants In order to integrate the program components, the grant had structured into it seed grants for interdisciplinary and inter-institutional science teams. In order to integrate the program components, the grant had structured into it seed grants for interdisciplinary and inter-institutional science teams. There were many Science Team proposals submitted, and today I want to talk with you about one of them There were many Science Team proposals submitted, and today I want to talk with you about one of them Losing the Lake Losing the Lake CATA Losing the Lake

Losing the Lake Project Goals CATA Losing the Lake Build an educationally informative simulation game Teach users about water conservation, climate change, and Lake Mead system Develop appreciation of climate change, conservation, and Lake Mead water level connection

Lake Mead water level “Bathtub ring” shows decline of 142 ft since Lake Mead water level “Bathtub ring” shows decline of 142 ft since 1983.

Losing the Lake – Game Design CATA Losing the Lake Five Activities Activity 1 – A multiple choice assessment that builds background knowledge Activity 2 – User is challenged to conserve water in home Activity 3 – User is challenged to conserve water in the community Activity 4 – Illustrate impacts of climate change Activity 5 – Modeling climate change impact on Lake Mead

Demo CATA 2012 Losing the Lake 13

Project Next Steps CATA Losing the Lake Focus groups with end users, middle-schoolers, teachers, and UGs Research on learning outcomes from game interaction with middle- schoolers and UGs Installation at informal learning environment

Conclusions We have discussed the design and implementation of an educational game – Losing the Lake We have discussed the design and implementation of an educational game – Losing the Lake A Web deployed game targeted towards educating young Nevadans who will be our future policy and decision makers.
