About

This original game was developed in Fall 2011 by a team of graduate students and faculty at Yale University and Parsons The New School for Design for the Red Cross Red Crescent to use in the field to educate children about vector borne diseases and climate change. This game showcases innovative teaching tools in the field. Playing the game will allow children and policy makers alike to understand and engage on an emotional level with complex and abstract concepts of climate change and disease transmission. The game has been played all over the world including in South Africa at COP17, Kenya, Vietnam, Barbados, and the U.S. There is now a field version, a gesture-based tabletop version, and card version of the game.
