Cagliari, February 15, 2010 - Three young graduates with the ball of the Sardinian scientific communication have invented a new board game to learn about the world of renewable energy. They are Gianluca Charter, Martin and Joseph Manieri Nieddu and the new born,''''Empire Energy, is a culmination of a master plan on renewable energy organized by the project TERS (Talent, Energy, Research, Development, Organization), which took AREA Science Park Trieste between key partners. Funded by the Foundation for the South within the projects for the development of human capital of excellence, the Master has trained 15 graduates living in Sardinia with the aim to combat the''brain drain''to encourage the creation of Enterprise and inclusion in organizations of the territory.
curiosity, a bit of scientific expertise and at least 14 years of age are the requirements to play''''Empire Energy, a game that highlights the positive aspects of sustainable energy and issues relating to their dissemination and their use. Each player represents a nation with an application for and energy budgets. The goal is to gradually replace the energy generated from fossil fuels so far with that produced from renewable sources. The player will be able to extricate themselves from costs, facilities, research and renewed, by adopting the best strategy to become the first country to be powered only by renewable energy. The winner is the first player capable of meeting the total of its energy needs with renewable energy, or the last to stay in the game. You can play a minimum of two and a maximum of five players. Who wins in the end reaches its full energy sustainability or who remains in the race last. Experts say "Energy Empire is a game somewhere between Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit: consists of a board representing Europe, on which five nations are represented, pieces of different size and shape of the card Rinnovatività, Research and applications, and a twelve-sided die .
currently been made, as a prototype and with the help of AREA, a hundred copies of the new board game.
ScienzUp The three young men who founded an association for social promotion that deals with the dissemination of scientific culture, in particular with regard to the Renewable Energy and Environmental Sustainability.
Energy Empire began as a final draft of the Master, following an internship at CRS4 and Laboratory Science Ltd, in order to propose a tool for the dissemination of the arguments for renewables that was both instructive and fun. "His goal - say the three graduates - is out by the canons of science communication to reach a wider audience."
In association programs, there are organizations of scientific events at issue and the creation of new kits and games to scientific background, in the aim of a communication fun, simple but never boring.
