Please share this announcement far and wide… Hi Outreachers! We have a great new mobile game called Offset — all about the carbon cycle. I have a short description below. I was hoping that you might have a way to promote it via any lists you may have. Thanks so much! Nancy Leon NASA Space Place Program http://spaceplace.nasa.gov Check out the latest educational game from NASA’s Space Place—OFFSET! Take matters into your own hands and help cut back on carbon emissions to slow the pace of global warming. Part pong, part resource-management, and 100% retro, this game is challenging, exciting, and educational. Players learn how the global carbon cycle works, about different sources of carbon, and about the ways alternative energy and reforestation can help offset those sources. And if a player wants to succeed, they will also learn the importance of having quick fingers and strong multitasking skills! Download it today: http://tinyurl.com/p8rcrwn.

This sounds very interesting. I think my students would be intrigued also. I will definitely look into sharing this with them. We love Space! Emily A.
