The Horse 2023

Janis and Yuri gave us feedback on our project, they thought it was very good overall. On their advice, we have adjusted the titles a bit and added more pictures. We were very pleased that they did not find much to fault with our project and are very pleased ourselves.

Our project actually went pretty much as I had imagined it.  The detailed planning helped me to achieve my goals. I learned a lot from the project. In the future, I will be careful not to use the highest graphics settings when playing video games so that I don't waste energy unnecessarily. Also, in the future, I will question it more when I want to buy a new smartphone or computer, as I have learned how long the devices are used in India and as I can do something good for the environment.

Diffrence Between Vision & Imagination and Reflexion

"Vision and Imagination" outlines the broader goals and aspirations of making gaming more ecological, while "Reflexion" reflects on personal experiences and lessons learned from the project, focusing on individual actions and behaviors that can contribute to environmental sustainability in gaming.

[Title] Video games and the environment - How are they related?

[Self-made header picture] For example a picture of a person playing a video game on a computer, with an image of the earth in the background.

[Short intro] Video games are a popular pastime for many people, but they can have an impact on the environment. In collaboration with students from India, we conducted an experiment to measure the actual energy consumption of video games on different devices with various graphics settings.

[Relation to the Project befter - before & after the experience] Our experiment helped us understand the environmental impact of video games and the importance of sustainable use of electronic devices.

[Main body]

[Methodology] We conducted an experiment to measure the energy consumption of different video games on devices with varying graphics settings.

[Media creations] We created a video that shows our experiment and its results. We also created an audio podcast that discusses the impact of video games on the environment.

[Interview] We conducted an interview with a student from India who discussed the challenges of playing video games on limited resources.

[Picture gallery with captions] We included a picture gallery with captions that show the equipment we used for our experiment and the results of our measurements.

[Survey results, Graphics, tables, etc.] We included graphics and tables that show the energy consumption of different video games on devices with various graphics settings.

[Experience, Reflection] Based on our experiment, we learned that video games with high graphics settings consume more energy than those with low graphics settings. We also learned that the sustainable use of electronic devices is an important factor in reducing energy consumption.

[Insights, experience, conclusion, tips for future teams, technical advice, etc.] We recommend that gamers use low graphics settings to reduce energy consumption and consider reusing old devices or their parts to minimize environmental impact. We also suggest conducting more experiments to better understand the environmental impact of video games.

Dear "Coral Reefs" group

Your project concept is a commendable initiative that aims to explore the current state of coral reefs and raise awareness about their preservation. Your well-thought-out questions cover a range of important topics, and your potential collaboration with a scuba diver in Indonesia is an excellent idea.

One suggestion would be to write down what you want to ask the students of Dubai or what you want to do with them.

Overall, your project shows promise and has the potential to make a positive impact. We think on a scale from 1-10 you are at a 7.5.
