Video game focuses on climate change

The Delta Optimist featured a video game that gives players a glimpse into an imagined future where the effects of climate change were not addressed.

UBC principal investigator and forestry professor Stephen Sheppard said the game, called Future Delta, was tested in two Delta high schools.

“Basically the results showed that the video game was fun for the students,” he said. “They overwhelmingly preferred it to learning out of a textbook, so that was one goal we wanted to establish.”
