Climate-Conscious NC: A Serious Game About Extreme Heat

Heat is nothing new to the Southeast, but a warming climate is giving rise to new challenges. North Carolina can expect to see more frequent and more intense heat events, including longer spans of extremely hot days that threaten human life. We can also expect to see warmer nights and higher minimum temperatures. These changes are creating a growing and inequitable public health hazard for North Carolinians.
Join us in person for a game will take the form of a deliberative public forum facilitated by Max Cawley, an educator, researcher, evaluator, game designer and science communicator at the Museum of Life and Science in Durham. In this game, participants will role play city planners and consider potential solutions for a fictional town experiencing more extreme heat events due to climate change.
