education simulator

Engage future citizen-planners and planning veterans alike through stimulating online role playing and alternative scenario games that raise awareness of planning and policy challenges, opportunities, and trade-offs. The tough part about developing educational games is not the technology, it's the content knowledge. MIG's professional policy and planning staff can translate complex content knowledge into understandable choices so that real consequences of potential action can be clearly articulated and fun.

MIG's staff has direct workshop experience participating with stakeholders in games designed to help educate citizens and planners. These games include...

  • point-counterpoint discussion
  • scenario or idea cards
  • role play or role reversal
  • prioritization games
  • scenario building and assessment strategy
  • trade-off exercises
Once the tough work of designing the game is done, MIG's interactive technology group can bring it to life online using the latest web technology, like database-driven Flash and JavaScript and AJAX programming to create engaging educational games.
