We design and run unique, imaginative training games that immerse users in creating a low carbon future!
Recently we have been working with clients who wish to use our workshops for wider stakeholder engagement. We work with our clients to understand what they want to get out of the engagement and then shape an interactive session that uses our serious games to drive dialogue.

What are the advantages of the physical components you have designed for us?

Jake: Hands on learning that takes us back to our childhood – learning through play. Representing ideas in a physical form on the table, with colours and shapes means that participants are free to focus more on strategy

Key to our success has been the quality of the design capability we have been able to draw on. We recently interviewed Jake Howe, a designer and maker, who has been instrumental in the development of our Transport Planner and Decarb-a-nation workshops www.jakehowe.co.uk

We ran our newest workshop alongside the team at Energy Systems Catapult last Thursday. It's called Decarb-a-nation and we've put together some footage of our attendees in action. Thanks again to everyone for coming along, we had a great day and hope you all did as well.
