The Horse 2023

We have received a response from a newspaper! They seem interested and want us to send them our article. They want to see the article first and then decide whether to publish it.

Last week we started writing our article and composing an E-Mail to send to various media channels. Together we first wrote a summary of the interview and the results of the experiment in a document.

Today we created graphics for the article, showing the numbers of the results of the experiment. We have sent the summary and the graphs to our Indian colleagues by E-Mail with the question if they can ever send us a picture of themselves and we can publish this as well as their names.

We also emailed several newspapers asking if they would be interested in our article. We have sent everyone the same mail. We have written to the following newspapers: More...

We have written a draft of a possible article and included it below. Of course, this is still being revised and there may be further additions.

Videospiele und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt

Wir interessieren uns schon lange für Videospiele und lieben es, diese zu spielen. Als wir uns in der Schule intensiv mit dem Klimawandel auseinandergesetzt haben, stellten wir uns die Frage, wie umweltschädlich Videospiele tatsächlich sind. Deshalb wollten wir mehr über dieses Thema erfahren. über unsere Lehrerin bekamen wir den Kontakt zu drei Schülern aus Indien, Advaith, Fadil und Manas. Sie spielen auch sehr gerne diverse Videospiele und daher dachten wir es wäre eine gute Gelegenheit ihre Sicht zum Zusammenhang zwischen Videospielen und der Umwelt zu erfahren. Sie haben uns erzählt, dass Computerspiele in Indien sehr weit verbreitet sind, jedoch spielen viele Inder nur auf ihren Smartphones oder Laptops. More...

Here is a template of our Email to the Newspapers:

Two weeks ago Damian and I made a list of different games and sent it to our colleagues in India. We, as well as our friends abroad, played these games and wrote down the energy consumption. Last Sunday we had a second meeting with the students from India. This was rather short as we only collected the results of our experiment and discussed the next steps. 

Next steps:

• Calculate the results
• Write an E-Mail to the Indians with the next steps
• Evaluate the results of the first interview
• Come up with more questions to ask the stundents from India
• Set the next date for the third meeting
• Write an article to publish it
• more to come...

Hello guys! Our project is about how gaming effects the environment. Have you ever thought that this is possible at all? If you are interested in how firmly gaming harms our environment, this would be the project for you.

There are many different ways to use media. In our project we needed Zoom for the meetings with the students from India and Outlook for the communication as well as Whats App.
For publishing following possibilities are considered: 

• Interview: Audio or Video
• Results: Calculations
• Numbers to calculate the results: World Wide Web
• The whole documentation: Article and evt. visit to a radio station

We already have some of the results of the experiment and are now calculating them. Our friends from India are eventually writing a small article as well.

Hey Guys!

Overall you did a great project so far and I'm sure you're on the right path for success!
Here are some points I noticed:

-It's good to see, that you're up to standards with your project.
-The regular status updates are interesting and done in a good quality.
-The ad-post you guys did well done!
-It's cool to see that you found a topic you enjoy and feel connected to.

The only thing I could think of what you could add would maybe be a quick summary of what you guys are planing on doing. Like maybe if you could do a self experiment or something similar.

I would rate your project a solid 8/10.

Last Sunday we had a meeting with three students from India, Fadil, Manas and Advaith. They told us about the gaming culture in India and how they consume gaming. They also told us about their view on the connection between gaming and the environment. The meeting went very well and the students were very interested in our project and promised us further cooperation.

Next Steps:

• Evaluate relevant information from the meeting
• Create a list of energy consumption of different games and discuss it with Indian students
• Have another meeting with the Indian students and discuss the further steps
