Why did this project start? Delving into the possibilities of blending gamification with sustainability education, by utilizing interactive digital tools and fostering collaborative learning environments, carries the promise of advancing the integration of sustainable practices in everyday life, catalyzing the evolution of eco-consciousness in higher education.
How does the project intend to achieve this? The hallmark of the “GUESS” (Gamified User-centered Environmental Sustainability for University Students) project lies in its innovative blend of gamification strategies with environmental education, aiming to cultivate a culture of Sustainable Thinking among students. By integrating engaging game mechanics with the critical subject matter of environmental sustainability, GUESS seeks to transform the educational landscape.
