GetZero EdTech: Digital Twin designed to reduce emissions

GetZero是一款教育和行为改变应用程序，旨在通过家庭的“数字孪生”来减少家庭排放。GetZero项目将于2022年秋季在英国学校试点。学生们可以在与家人和同学一起完成现实世界的挑战之前，通过家中的数字孪生模型来尝试减排想法。GetZero应用程序可以是一个独立的家庭学习工具，也可以作为课程的一部分由教师支持和提供，提供气候教育和可衡量行动之间缺失的环节。我们的试点项目将与特许测量师培训信托基金（CSTT）合作交付。CSTT向年轻人介绍建筑环境中的职业。在两年内，它的学校方案已经惠及300多名教师和30 000名学生。GetZero将支持CSTT在学校提供更广泛的参与，并提供基于可持续性项目的学习作为其当前产品的一部分。我们预计在未来三年内能够接触到10万多名中学学生。只有6%的学生知道建筑环境是他们可以参与改善的。很少有人意识到，它占二氧化碳排放量的40%以上，他们有能力开始解决这个问题。让学生尽早参与到家庭的有形、证据驱动的改善中，可以增加他们采取进一步减排行动的可能性：无论是在家庭还是在职业生涯中。

GetZero is an educational and behaviour change app designed to reduce household emissions through a 'digital twin' of the home. The GetZero project will be piloted in UK schools from Autumn 2022. Students can trial emission reduction ideas through a digital twin of their home before completing real-world challenges with their families and classmates. The GetZero app can be a standalone home learning tool, or supported and delivered by teachers as part of curriculum based subjects, providing the missing link between climate education and measurable action. Our pilot will be delivered in partnership with the Chartered Surveyors Training Trust (CSTT). The CSTT introduces young people to careers in the built environment. In two years, its schools programme has already reached over 300 teachers and 30,000 students. GetZero will support CSTT to deliver a wider engagement in schools and provide sustainability project-based learning as part of their current offering. We expect to be able to reach over 100,000 students in secondary schools in the next three years. Only 6% of students understand that the built environment is something they can engage in improving. Few realise that it accounts for more than 40% of CO2 emissions and that they have the ability to start to address that. Engaging students early in tangible, evidence-driven improvements in their home increases the likelihood of them taking further emission reducing actions: both at home and in their career.
