Summary
An award-winning documentary has been adapted into an educational, interactive game for students.
Through a partnership with Ag in the Classroom, students can learn valuable lessons about agriculture and ecosystem sustainability using games and technology.
Based on the success of the documentary, it was adapted to become an interactive video game accessible to all Canadians.
However game development is expensive, so with a provincial grant, the game was designed to be an educational resource for students to supplement their curriculum.
What we're doing with the Guardians of the Grasslands game is just a different delivery mechanism for the curriculum.
The game was developed in partnership with Ag in the Classroom.
The game has versions specific to all provinces including, and west of Ontario.
