I’ve been wondering lately how gaming could play a role in getting more people excited about STEM fields, especially areas like paleontology or agricultural research. I work as an equine therapist, and I’ve seen how hands-on experiences can ignite passion whether it’s working with horses or diving into something like biofuels. But gaming feels like such a natural gateway for exploration and learning.
Imagine a game where you’re not just digging up fossils but piecing together ecosystems from millions of years ago, or one where you’re managing sustainable farms and experimenting with crop rotations to solve real-world challenges. Do you think games like that could make complex topics more accessible and fun? I’d love to hear if anyone’s come across games that already do this well or if you have ideas for how they could be designed to inspire deeper curiosity in these fields.
