Budget Builders: A Participatory Budgeting Game
Budget Builders is a board game that teaches players of all ages about participatory budgeting (PB) in an engaging way. Created in partnership with the Black Brilliance Project, the game promotes civic literacy and awareness of PB, which may be a method used by the city of Seattle to distribute public funds. Players debate city projects, vote, and answer trivia questions to earn funding for their budgets. Budget Builders offers a creative solution to the lack of awareness surrounding PB in Seattle, educating players about civic engagement through a hands-on experience.
