  education learning technology game citizenship justice

  • The ultimate goal is based on a specific view of learning. Schools treat subjects like physics as if they were just a set of facts and information ("content"). But physics is not first and foremost a set of facts, it is first and foremost a set of activities through which people engage with the world and see it and understand it in new ways. So, too, with “civics.” Civics is not first and foremost a set of facts, it is a set of activities through which people can participate in the societies and transform them. We want to make civics part of an engaging game that ultimately spills out into the real world in demands for justice.
