8. Ecosystem: Building a Common Understanding
Discuss: What did you notice as you manipulated the blocks? What do you think the implications would be when creating a sustaining a digital ecosystem?
Ecosystem: Building a Common Understanding
The Jenga tower represents an ecosystem. Each block represents one species in your ecosystem.
Take turns taking one block out a time. Removing one block represents the removal of one species from your ecosystem.
After a species block is removed, you must introduce a new species to the ecosystem by replacing a block on top of the tower.
Discuss: What did you notice as you manipulated the blocks? What do you think the implications would be when creating and sustaining a digital ecosystem?
