Powerline
How much power does your toaster consume? Does it consume more energy than your kettle? What about your car, or the university and offices you may study or work in? And what about your own country and its essential businesses and industries?
Through playful comparison with friends, this DIY game intitled 'Powerline' aims to improve your knowledge about the power consumption/production of many entities our societies rely upon and insight for constructive discussions around how to produce and consume energy in the near future.
