Mayor Wanted

A New Zealand power company has come up with a fun game to teach students about renewable energy. Electro City aims to educate and raise awareness amongst students, teachers and parents about renewable energy, electricity generation and energy efficiency. Students are challenged to balance the supply of energy and the environment by acting as the mayor of a new town. Managing the budget and developing the land around the town can affect the population growth and the happiness of your citizens. It is easy to play and lists ideas for using it with your class. The site has several educational resources and links to more sites with information about renewable energy.
