game:play Co-Director Cindy Poremba is one of the recipients of the 2025–26 BMO Microgrants from the Global Centre for Climate Action (GCCA). Generously supported by BMO, the grants will enable faculty-led research and teaching projects that advance sustainability, environmental awareness, and climate action.
The Solar Playshop explores the environmental footprint of digital media by developing a modular solar-powered kit for hosting playful, low-fi media works. Through a two-day workshop, participants will co-create games and playful media designed for renewable energy contexts. The project emphasizes reciprocal learning, local infrastructures, and lived climate experiences, culminating in a zine hosted on OCADU’s new solar server.
