Uncover engineering skills through gameplay with Enginuity's latest game!
Skills Miner Home Energy encourages the development of green engineering skills through a familiar domestic world that poses power and energy challenges.
Give your students a budget and challenge them to make their house the most energy efficient in the classroom.
They can choose between options they may know about such as low energy lighting and insulation, to technologies that might be new to them such as heat pumps or hydrogen boilers. Throughout the game they will discover the pros and cons of the decisions they make while learning about sustainability and climate change.
