| Description | Resilient Planet is a 3D video game funded by the Kauffman Foundation and developed by Filament Games in support of The JASON Project's Operation: Resilient Planet ecology curriculum. In the game, students go on underwater expeditions to solve ecological problems identical to those being examined by real life researchers. They answer questions like, "is there a tiger shark infestation in the Hawaiian islands?" and "how can endangered whales be protected from shipping vessels off the coast of Boston?" |
