Week 3
Welcome to the Program
As an introduction to the program, this week you will play This is Fine, a megagame developed for this program by Melbourne Megagames. In the game you will be working together as local councillors, researchers, state ministers and journalists to protect your local communities from the immediate effects of heatwaves. While playing the game you will explore the impact of heat, debate the appropriate allocation of state funding and research, and implement heat-mitigating solutions.
You will also explore the text Cooling the City by James Bradley, which has been written as an introduction to some of the key concepts explored throughout the program.
You will also have the chance to meet your mentors who will work with you in your schools to support you in developing your projects.
