EMU Danmarks undervisningsportal"PowerUp" er et flot online 3D-undervisningsspil, hvor man skal redde planeten 'Helios' fra en klimakatastrofe. Spillet er på engelsk og skal downloades til en computer, før det virker. Spillet er gratis og udviklet af TryScience Project Team fra New York Hall of Science og IBM. Spillere fra hele verden skal samarbejde om at genskabe planetens klimabalance ved at udbrede vind-, sol- og vandkraft og udrydde de næsten levende carbonskyer "SmogGobs". Producent: TryScience

Daniel KruegerIn this adventure/strategy game the students have to try to save the planet Helios from an ecological disaster. The game has very impressive 3D graphics. You have to download the file and it is quite large. It also will run slow on older computers. I would not use this during class time but I would encourage students to check it out during their free time.

Manel CVEl juego es parte de la iniciativa de IBM TryScience y puede ser jugado solo en compañía de otros y representa un planeta en condiciones ecológicas desastrosas donde deben solventarse misiones relacionadas con la energía solar, eólica y el agua antes que las tormentas de arena, inundaciones y problemas ambientales impidan la regeneración del deteriorado planeta

PowerUp, part of IBM's TryScience initiative, is perhaps the most sophisticated of these new computer games. The game charges players with saving the imaginary planet Helios from ecological destruction by carrying out missions to supply solar, wind, and water power before severe storms wreak havoc. Students learn engineering and science principles by building solar towers or searching junkyards for parts to repair wind turbines.
"When adults play it, they say, 'We need a lot more information.' When kids play it, they just take off," says Marylou Molina, former senior program manager for corporate citizenship at IBM, who spearheaded the project. "It's also amazing how many of our own employees were volunteering for the first time in order to play the game with the kids."
One reason for PowerUp's success, says Molina, is that it draws on concepts that today's children already know. "Even little kids have awareness about the environment," she says. "There was information about solar energy and other things that was new to me, but the kids didn't need it explained to them. When I was their age, we used to think it was a big deal just to recycle cans."

PowerUp has earned adult fans, too. The Earth Day Network, which runs Earth Day festivals across the country, chose PowerUp as its official 2008 game; it was also a featured part of Engineers Week 2008. "Teaching through games and simulations is the way to engage tech-savvy students today," notes Michael Mino, director of the Education Connection's Center for 21st Century Skills. The Litchfield, Connecticut, organization, through its Connecticut Innovation Academy program, helped connect IBM with students to test out PowerUp.
