This month’s MIT “Technology Review” covered our partner and Climate Interactive co-founder John Sterman playing our team’s “Copenhagen Climate Exercise” using C-ROADS (formerly called Pangaea) with his MIT Sloan MBA students.
Check it out. It discusses the use of simulations and “serious games” as learning tools within complex systems like climate change.
John and team have other sims that are part of the Climate Interactive suite, including an interactive bathtub that blows away our first bathtub sim with its functionality and scope of issues.
The need for these sims and the exercise John played was outlined in a paper by John and Linda Booth Sweeney.
Great work John! Experiential learning at its best.
