Green Tycoon 1.4.7

The Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence (GCCE) at the University of York has introduced an innovative interactive experience known as Green Tycoon. This idle clicker game serves as a unique educational tool designed to immerse users in the practical applications of green chemistry.

Players begin their journey by acquiring a factory characterized by inefficient and polluting processes. To transform this establishment into a profitable entity, players must leverage their understanding of green chemistry principles. The game encourages the upgrade of various components, including factory infrastructure, transport systems, oil refining processes, and chemical operations. Continued engagement through regular operations and a built-in quiz reinforces learning, ensuring players can maintain a positive financial status for further reinvestment.

Targeted primarily at pre-university students and first-year undergraduates, Green Tycoon is suitable for anyone keen to deepen their knowledge in this vital field of science.

Learning Objectives:

• Define the 12 principles of green chemistry and associated key equations.
• Understand and apply these principles to real-world industrial processes.
• Analyze the effects of transportation on emissions and atmospheric chemistry.
• Evaluate industrial decision-making through a comprehensive system perspective.
• Reinforce understanding of green chemistry through a game-based learning approach.
