Overview

Join us to discover initiatives aimed at educating students on the importance of heat safety. Our online game, developed in collaboration with Arizona State University’s Ask a Biologist team, presents a virtual world where students embark on exciting quests, collect items, and learn about organisms, all while navigating a scorching city and striving to keep cool. Additionally, we invite you to explore the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning’s interactive map, which empowers students to monitor and report heat conditions nationwide.
