Join the GO-350 Contest!

We invite you to participate in a gaming competition called GO-350 (Games Olympiad 350). This December, world leaders will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark to craft a new global treaty on cutting emissions. Win our competition and you too can be part of this exciting event! You can participate in this round to be held between August and November 2009 if you are between 13 and 18 years and live at one of Pune, India, state of Vermont USA, City of Chicago, USA or Israel.
The number 350--as in parts per million, is the level scientists have identified as the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. Our contest seeks to “Educate and Engage Youth to Take Action, be Change Agents and Save the World on their Way to College”.
At each individual site mentioned above, the competition will have 3 rounds with rewards for all participants and special rewards for winners of each round. First round involves playing 5 computer games on climate change developed by Global Challenge Award and its partner Neeti Solutions. Top scorers move to round 2 where you learn about games design and are required to submit an original idea of yours on a climate change game. Youth with top ideas move to round 3 where you play a game, which assists you in creating your own presentation of the facts, warning signs and impacts of Climate Change. You then make a case in front of a panel of judges why your presentation should win and you might just find yourself in Copenhagen this December!
