New game designed to generate interest in earth sciences developed by Laurentian University’s Harquail School of Earth Sciences

Sudbury's Harquail School of Earth Sciences has created a new game to get more young people interested in geology and other geoscience subjects.

"The game was conceived and developed by Tobias Roth, a Geoscience Technologist at Laurentian University, with funding support from the Canadian Geological Foundation . The idea to develop these Rock ID game sets started on a hike with kids that were around 10 years old and who loved collecting rocks, especially those they knew from playing Minecraft. The project then came to fruition through the generous support from the CGF," said the release.

The game can be played by a group so that children can challenge their friends and family members, but it can also be played by a single player, said the release.
