创造变革游戏
From studios to students in school just learning how to code, many people all over the world use Unity. Through Games for Change and their annual Student Challenge, social issues inspire students in middle and high school to build games for the good of others.
从工作室到学校里的学生，他们正在学习如何编写代码，全世界许多人都在使用Unity。 通过变革游戏及其年度学生挑战赛，社会问题激发了初中和高中学生为他人造福的游戏。
Since 2014, the Games for Change Student Challenge has been using games as a platform to drive STEM education, while exploring problems in society. With new themes every year, students in different cities are challenged to think about issues affecting their fellow citizens. For this year’s Games for Change Student Challenge, schools in Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Detroit, and New York City all joined to make a difference. Themes involved creating experiences around Kindness & Empathy, Wildlife Conservation, News Literacy, and Connected Cities. 61 schools with over 1,100 students participated to create 595 games this year.
自2014年以来，“变革学生挑战赛”一直使用游戏作为平台来推动STEM教育，同时探索社会问题。 每年都有新主题，不同城市的学生都面临着思考影响其同胞的问题的挑战。 在今年的“变革学生挑战赛”中，亚特兰大，匹兹堡，洛杉矶，底特律和纽约的学校都参加了比赛。 主题涉及围绕善意与同理心，野生动物保护，新闻素养和互联城市创造经验。 今年共有61所学校，1100多名学生参加了595场比赛。

With the help of Mouse.org, an organization empowering students and educators to create with technology to make a difference, teachers were given access to a Serious Games curriculum to support students in their game development learning, using Unity to build sample projects by the end of the course. Games for Change even held its first Unity focused game jam for students at the Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation. As a result, 50 projects were made with Unity. Here are some of the winners from this year!
在Mouse.org的帮助下，该组织使学生和教育工作者能够通过创造差异化技术的方式进行创作，使教师可以使用“严肃游戏”课程，以支持学生进行游戏开发学习，并最终使用Unity构建示例项目。当然。 变革游戏甚至在底特律拉美裔开发公司为学生举办了首次针对Unity的游戏。 结果，使用Unity进行了50个项目。 以下是今年的一些获奖者！
健康习惯 (Healthy Habits)
Most Creative Game from G4C Student Challenge: Atlanta
G4C学生挑战赛最具创意的游戏：亚特兰大
In Healthy Habits, your role as the player in a futuristic world is to make your way home avoiding the maze of unhealthy foods to try and collect healthy options. In the United States, 20% of people live in areas where whole foods – poultry, fish, meats, fresh fruits, and vegetables – are not accessible. Instead, the only accessible food sources are processed foods like candy and chips. This game highlights the importance of having access to healthy food.
在“健康习惯”中，您扮演的角色是在未来世界中扮演自己的角色，避开不健康食品的迷宫，尝试收集健康食品。 在美国，有20％的人生活在无法获得完整食物(禽，鱼，肉，新鲜水果和蔬菜)的地区。 相反，唯一可获取的食物来源是糖果和薯条等加工食品。 这场比赛突出了获得健康食品的重要性。

G4C学生挑战赛最佳整体比赛：纽约
“In today’s society, there are a large amount [sic] of problems that aren’t getting solved and lots of energy being wasted. If communities were more connected to each other, I feel things could improve.” – Geneva Heyward, Developer of Solar Sprout
“在当今社会中，有很多(原文如此)问题没有得到解决，并且浪费了大量精力。 如果社区之间的联系更加紧密，我认为情况会有所改善。” – Solar Sprout开发商Geneva Heyward
Inspired by creating a more connected world, Solar Sprout teaches people to use their energy in an effort to support their community. Whether through facilitating connections between people or providing power to their apartment, the main character Johnnie flies through the city helping those in need.
受创建更紧密联系的世界的启发，Solar Sprout教会人们使用其能量来支持社区。 无论是通过促进人与人之间的联系还是为他们的公寓供电，主角约翰尼都会飞过这座城市，为需要帮助的人提供帮助。
