SSE Thermal, part of SSE Plc, and Abertay University have teamed up in the race to reach net zero, setting a challenge to a group of students to design a video game based around carbon capture and storage (CCS).
A contest, or a ‘Game Jam’, was held at the Dundee-based university in July and saw teams submit concepts for an educational interactive video game about CCS. The winning entry was chosen by figures from game design studios Junkfish and Biome Collective.
The winners will have four weeks to fully realise their idea and turn it into a fully playable game. Funding will be provided by SSE Thermal, in addition to paying the participants for work.
Considered a leading university for computer games degrees, Abertay’s School of Design and Informatics was the first in the world to offer degrees in video games. The university is also in the world top 10 for postgraduate degree and sees more than 95% of its graduates go into employment or further study within six months of graduation.
