Green Tycoon is a free-of-charge game-based mobile application that embraces a systems thinking approach to introducing students to a biorefining process model within green chemistry. Players adopt the role of a manager in a chemical factory, synthesizing the fictional compound, Yorkanone. Through upgrading the system and engaging with the integrated quiz, players can learn fundamental green chemistry principles while appreciating some of the considerations in biorefining. Green Tycoon was implemented with 33 undergraduate students where survey feedback demonstrated that the game was engaging and innovative and was a helpful tool to appreciate the importance of green chemistry when designing chemical processes. On the basis of pretest and post-test questions to evaluate learning gain, Green Tycoon proved to be a useful resource to introduce students to green chemistry and its role in moving toward a bioeconomy. Design of the mobile application serves as a useful example of what an upper-division undergraduate student with no coding knowledge can achieve through a chemistry education research project.

Green Tycoon：一个在绿色化学中引入生物精制原理的移动应用程序

Green Tycoon是一款基于游戏的免费移动应用程序，它包含一种系统思维方法，可向学生介绍绿色化学中的生物精制过程模型。玩家在化工厂扮演经理的角色，合成了虚构的化合物Yorkanone。通过升级系统并参与集成测验，玩家可以了解基本的绿色化学原理，同时了解生物精炼中的一些注意事项。“绿色大亨”与33名大学生一起实施，调查反馈表明该游戏具有吸引力和创新性，是了解绿色化学在设计化学过程中的重要性的有用工具。根据测验前和测验后的问题来评估学习增益，事实证明，绿色大亨是向学生介绍绿色化学及其在迈向生物经济中的作用的有用资源。移动应用程序的设计是一个有用的示例，该示例说明了没有化学知识的高年级本科生可以通过化学教育研究项目实现的目标。
