Love the concept, and the theme fits right in to Pittsburgh's image as a 'green' city.  Kids creating and playing eco-treasure hunt games--sounds like good creative summer fun.

This is a truly exciting idea.  The use of theatrical techniques intertwined with technology has the potential to create a real breakthrough in the medium.  Mixing art, eceology and gaming is just a fantastic idea.

It looks like a great collaboration between history and drama, including in the important lessons around ecology and sustainability. Well done!

I really hope this launches and gets to be applied to cities worldwide as this is such a great way for communication, learning and leading

If I had kids, this is exactly the sort of fun, purposeful, thought-provoking way I'd want them to be learning about responsible citizenship while being creative.

I know that my daughter would love something like this and it would be a great learning experience as well.  It's not always easy to put those things together!  Sounds like a terrific concept.

looks like a really positive project for the community.  fascinating and relevant mixture of disciplines and working methodologies.

This project is very exciting!  It will reach kids right where they are and give them a local, concrete, engaging way to address what can seem to be an overwhelming problem.  More please!

This project deserves a lot of support.  It is a great way to involve community in historic and - Pittsburgh.

This game sounds great. I like the idea of getting people to move through a city and view areas of ecological importance.  I'd love to see this game evolve to occur in other urban areas.

a tremendous way to blend old and new in meaningful ways.  this is the kind of thing I would get involved with.

Not only an incredibly creative concept - but what a great way to encourage children (and their parents) to become involved in an innovative and positive program.  Would really love to see this happen!  Could certainly be a something the city would be proud to spotlight.

What a fabulous way to capture the imagination and energy of young people and encourage them to  become aware of the multiple issues in their community - now and in the future.  Possibly generate the kind of ideas that will provide solutions.  Hope this becomes a reality - and a pilot program for other such creative projects.

I hope this creative, innovative project becomes a reality.

This needs to become a reality!

The arts are undervalued as a necessity in the development of young people. This is a great way to bring the arts together with technology youth are already using in a way that will increase their commitment to their community.

What a great way to give young people an opportunity to interact creatively with others beyond their immediate circle of friends.

This is an excellent idea and deserves support. As a parent, someone in the arts, and someone concerned about the world, I think EcoPlayGround is tremendously exciting.

By far, one of the most creative concepts I've encountered.  Would love to see this in action in Pittsburgh.  I think other urban areas would be interested in the idea as well.

Es una excelente idea para la juventud de Pittsburgh.
