The Energy Surge System is designed to teach students about energy consumption. It is a robust software system that includes a 3D simulation called the Virtual Energy World, a quiz, and a game. The system is designed to be used in this order: First, students will explore in the Virtual Energy World, which is a 3D simulation of how energy is used in everyday life. Turn on appliances to see how much energy is used by each one. The Virtual Energy World is a fun and easy way to understand energy consumption. Second, students will take an energy quiz, which will test and measure the knowledge gained from exploring the Virtual Energy World. The quiz will give tokens for every correct answer. And third, students will play Energy Robots, a fun online computer game where a character defeats robots. Use the tokens from the quiz for power-ups and special characters in the game. The software are connected via a cloud-based system for storing the tokens earned by students in the quiz, This component is critical to the rewards aspect of the Energy Surge System.
