Designing A Video Game To Support Climate Change Awareness In A Museum Exhibition Context

Nowadays, human activities are having a direct impact on the natural dynamics of the earth resulting in climate alterations on a global scale, commonly known as climate change. Video games are a potential tool for supporting climate change awareness due to their benefits to the learning process, such as improve cognitive skills and the improvement of attention and motivation to learn about a new topic. In this work, we present the design process of Reto Global, a video game to support climate change awareness in a museum exhibition context. The design was conducted following a user-centered design approach. We close with some design recommendations for the design of potential technology to support the climate change phenomenon.
