History of o.s.Earth, Inc.

The history of o.s.Earth and the Global Simulation Workshop began over 35 years ago, when o.s.Earth founders Howard Brown and Medard Gabel established the World Game Institute (WGI) in collaboration with world-renowned visionary and designer Buckminster Fuller.

In 2000, WGI’s Board of Directors determined that its mission could best be achieved by leveraging the resources of the private sector; o.s.Earth was created as the vehicle for this change. By updating the workshop with the newest data, faster game play and state-of-the-art multimedia, o.s.Earth continues to bring this exciting, innovative experience, now called the Global Simulation Workshop, to schools, corporations, professional organizations, and conferences around the world.
