DOE Power It Up
As part of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) “The Harnessed Atom” curriculum, we developed 2 games to help elementary school students understand nuclear science and energy. Playing “Power It Up”, players learn the basic parts of power plants and their relationships to one another. The object of the game is to set up a power plant and supply power to a city, neighborhood and farm. Points are gained by correct actions and lost by incorrect actions. Students try to light up the landscape and obtain the most points. Both games were originally built on the Adobe Flash platform and were recently converted to HTML5.
