The Guest List:

Sponsored by Electronic Arts, the evening served as part of the gaming giant's unveiling of SimCity.edu, a new game initiative that can be used by parents and teachers to help young people learn about math, science, and economics.

Players in the game, a special version of which was only just announced a few days ago during the US Conference of Mayors, are encouraged to build a thriving city by managing such diverse elements as housing, roads, factories, crime, and utilities (e.g., power generation and pollution).

Since the game touches on practically all aspects of a city's ecosystem, including social, political, and economic levers, it provides users with a fun way to learn about urban planning. And the SimCity.edu website was constructed specifically for educators to provide access to a version of the game for their classes, create and share lessons plans, and post user generated content.
