🎤 Excited to share I'm speaking at @seriousplayconf 2026 at Duke University this week — Aug 7th!
My session: "Holding the Room: Navigating Doom Bias and False Hope with Climate-Focused Serious Games" 🌍🎲

I'll be sharing what I've learned facilitating my game Climate Cooldown and its companion curricula — and handing over a practical toolkit for game-based learning + eco-emotions in the classroom.

SPC26 brings together an incredible global community working across games, learning, health, and social impact — talks, workshops, panels, an expo, and an arcade zone.

If you'll be in Duke, let's connect!

What a day at the FLOWSTATE Earth Month Design Challenge Showcase. Got to dig into the full design process behind Climate Cooldown with students from Mission Bit at the Verizon Innovation Center in SF — and then watch them take those same skills and build games of their own.

The video says it all: from the entrance to the speakers to the students deep in their game dev challenge... and yes, that timelapse of them playing Climate Cooldown at the end is my favorite part 🌍

Grateful for the amazing co-panelists Rexanne Martin (go check out KATOA!) and Christina Ortega, MPA, CEO of Mission Bit — and a huge shoutout to Allister Capati for putting this together.

This is why I do this work.

🌐 Honored to be presenting at Scenarios Forum 2025 in Leeds, UK hosted by the Priestly Center for Climate Futures at the University of Leeds.

Some of the main topics covered at the conference are:

- The future of scenarios in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)

- Future population health and health systems under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs)

- Regional SSPs in practice: What we have learned and what lies ahead?

I will be presenting on “Serious Board Games on Climate Change as a Tool for Modeling Scenarios”. In short, I created the game Climate Cooldown as a means for us to play out scenarios based on our in-game collective actions and decisions. We get the chance to see what it takes to turn things around through a fun, social and challenging educational game.

Lastly, I want to thank those of you that helped donate or spread the word about the GoFundMe for the Davis Data Driven Change (D3C) student research team. Your support helped enable this team to participate in this conference.

What an amazing time meeting other innovators, XR and board game creators that love the planet at the Games and Education Industry Collider yesterday at the Pacific Science Center! So nice to meet @atyourlevelgames and see his game "Two Degrees" and The GAMER (GAME Research, formerly GAme MEtadata Research) Group @uwischool and what they're cooking up with games on misinformation/disinformation and the @9zeroclimatehub among many others! 🎮

A big thank you to @seattleindies for putting on this Games & Education Industry Collider. 🎲

Had a wonderful time last Friday at the West Los Angeles College's Climate Action Palooza! Met so many amazing people who are dedicated to climate justice 💚

The many panelists covered key parts of what we need to do to take climate action in many sectors including education, economy, AI, food sovereignty and more! Honored to be a part of this event with everyone in efforts to improve our stakes in a just and equitable future for all. 🌈✨️

Big shout out to @climatectr_wcla and @earth_to_jojo for putting this event on and fellow panelists @megatoe.design from @studiosaka.co and @climatedesignersla with @i_art_rachel as well as Kelley Lê from @ecclps1 Shannon Halloway from Holloway R&D and student Andrew Rodriguez as we explored pathways to a decarbonized economy and increase climate literacy.
Please check out what these panelists are doing as it is amazing and key to our just and sustainable future. 🌈✨️

"The diversity of voices at this conference – from industry pioneers to emerging student leaders – reflects the collaborative approach needed to address climate change." (Jo Tavares-Reager)

I’m excited to both be a panelist as well as facilitate a workshop at #ClimatePalooza2024 on October 25 at West LA College where I'll be introducing attendees to my game studio, @cleanearthfuture and our flagship game, #ClimateCooldown.

I’ll be sharing the vision behind the company and provide a live demonstration of how the game works through an in-person tutorial.

Participants will have the chance to play one or two rounds of the cooperative game designed to save the planet and the workshop will also include a review of additional learning resources and curriculum, such as a worksheet on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and an online learning module featuring academic and career pathways.

We’ll explore transdisciplinary content for art, language arts, and social studies, along with a sneak peek at a new prototype for a children’s version of the game. Register here: https://ClimateInnovation.eventbrite.com

Please come and join us!!! 🙏🌈✨️🌱 taken in West Los Angeles College (WLAC) by @cleanearthfuture
