Learning geothermal energy basics with the serious game HotPipe
5
Convey the basic concepts of a geothermal system to the players
6
What is a geothermal system?
2 drill locations connect to a water reservoir
7
Main geothermal concepts
- 1. Water circulates in a geothermal well
- 2. Temperature increases with depth
- 3. Rock types influence drill speed
- 4. Sandstone is preferable rock type for a water
reservoir
8
How?
- The player’s goal is to create a geothermal well
- Drill to the sandstone twice per level
- Teach through repetition
- A tile-based puzzle game
