The Energy Grid Card Game was designed for pre-college students to be played in an informal learning environment. The game explores the technical, environmental, and economic choices and challenges of using energy resources throughout our daily lives. Undergraduates at Illinois State University designed the activity as part of the NSF-funded project, "SUPERCHARGE", which seeks to improve access to STEM college and career pathways while making connections to engineering and sustainability-related problems that can be addressed in their communities. A brief overview of the game's design, and a link to instructions and resources needed to produce a free, expandable version of the game are provided.
