ElectroCity is an excellent teaching tool students love and it is worth sharing with parents. It is a game that focuses on critical thinking where students make various decisions as a mayor of this town in order to bring “prosperity” to the town and the people. The focus of this game is not to indoctrinate students about any energy issues that currently are in debate as different mayors may define “prosperity” differently and, with that in mind, they try to make sound decisions as they run the town.
The comments below are students’ reflections where they discuss their definition of “prosperity”, the results of the game and etc.

I think that ElectroCity is a really fun way of learning about how you should use resources responsibly. you must use you money wisely by buying the right amounts of coal and gas when the prices are low and by keeping your city green but you need to build fun attractions to keep up the tourism.
