In SimCityEDU: Pollution Challenge!, students play the role of mayor, doing the challenging work of addressing environmental impact while balancing the employment needs and the happiness of the city's citizens. Designed in partnership with the assessment experts from ETS and Pearson, Pollution Challenge! will not only teach students about the factors affecting the environment in a modern city, but the game will also provide formative assessment information about students' ability to problem-solve, explain the relationships in complex systems, and read informational texts and diagrams. Lesson plans and teacher and student dashboards - along with student data reporting - complete the SimCityEDU experience, delivering personalized learning to every student. Built with today's classrooms in mind, Pollution Challenge! supports a wide range of implementations from middle school science classrooms to after school programs and technology clubs.
