Sticky++Land Science

Land Science extends the game Urban Science. In Land Science, players become interns at the office of a fictitious urban and regional planning firm, Land Management Associates. Players weigh the trade-offs of land use decisions in ecologically-sensitive areas, interact with virtual stakeholders and use iPlan, a custom-designed Geographic Information System, to develop land use plans for local and national sites.

Land Science is a 10 hour game played in schools or out-of-school enrichment programs. It is a collaboration between game designers and planning experts at UW-Madison and science education experts at the Massachusetts Audubon Society (MAS).
