Engage students and meet NGSS, Common Core, Climate Literacy, and Ocean Literacy Standards. Offered 100% free through support from the CO2 Foundation and Foundation for Water & Energy Education (FWEE).

Join game creator Rick Reynolds, M.S.Ed., Founder of Engaging Every Student, for an adventure in professional development (PD) for educators!

Explore hands-on, place-based and Scratch coding content that go beyond the game experience to take student learning to the next level.

The game with interactive story is targeted to grades 3–5 and is useful as a resource for grades pre-K–12. The narrated story supports emerging readers and development of literacy skills. Each scene can be played separately, for maximum flexibility.
