Multiplayer educational game that I developed and used for undergrad water management education for seven years. Students are farmer sharing an aquifer and have to chose how much water to pump each year: Pump too much and you make it more expensive for your whole community to pump, now and in the future. Pump too little and you can't grow enough crops to make a profit and lose the game. The game is programmed on google sheets and inputs-outputs happen through protected google forms. It is also fully documented and linked to openly available teaching materials. 

Advanced version of the game with improved graphic interface and more complex management choices.  The game is more complex and challenging than Thirsty Earth v0, which I recommend folks use as starting point. This new version allows students to simultaneously experience three key issues in water resources management: (A) risk aversion and environmental variability, (B) common pool resources and collective action institutions or (C) climate change and water resources depletion among others. A complete package with documentation (for students and instructors) and relevant educational material is accessible on the game starting page. More details on the game are available on this EGU Hydrological Sciences Blog post.

This is outreach material to teach 4th grade students about the electric power system and hydropower generation. The material includes a googlesheet based experiential games, where students are task to manage turbine releases to maximize hydropower production while minimizing floods. The sheet is in view only mode for security reasons. To play the game, download the sheet as xlsx; upload the xlsx as a new google sheet that you can then share with your student. Please get in touch if you run into any challenges.
