Description

OIR Research Analyst Jacob Loorimirim, guided and participated in ERAMAT gaming sessions with Shenandoah Valley Regional Governor’s School. After three years of pilot studies among pastoralists in East Africa and students in U.S. classrooms, ERAMAT project team members are ready to expand operations. They will scale up U.S. classroom testing to evaluate the potential for ERAMAT to help U.S. students learn about life in other cultures and to themselves develop a systems view of human-environment interactions.
