"Every Day CO2 Challenge": More Than a Game, A New Way of Learning
Developed at Chulalongkorn University, the new card game helps players understand complex concepts like carbon footprints and Life Cycle Assessment
In Bangkok, traditional lectures often struggle to make complex environmental concepts easy for players to understand. To address this challenge, Varoon Varanyanond turned to an unlikely teaching tool: a card game. Varanyanond serves as the Industrial Partnership Advisor to the Center of Excellence on Petrochemical and Materials Technology (PETROMAT) at Chulalongkorn University.[1][2]
The newly developed game is called "Every Day CO2 Challenge." It is specifically designed to help players comprehend Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which is an internationally recognized framework. This framework is used to assess the environmental impacts of various products throughout their entire life cycle, alongside other difficult concepts such as carbon footprints.[1][2]
This interactive educational tool was created under the MA-RE DESIGN project. The initiative received support from GIZ, helping to bring the "Every Day CO2 Challenge" to fruition as a new way of learning.[1][2]
