Join us for the next installment of tour Closer Look series - exploring the many labs and spaces across Concordia University, giving you a closer look at what happens here!
This session takes us to the roof of the EV building and into the virtual world of SunBlock, a solar-powered game server that runs For the Trees and Gaia's Riddle, mods of Minecraft developed by Bart Simon, director of the Milieux Institute.
Gaia's Riddle asks players to how to live in a different world, rather than just survive it. Players have to work together to live in a world destabilized by climate change. For the Trees is a multiplayer game tackling reforestation in a post-apocalyptic world.
How can you participate? Join us online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube.
