Civics Bridge: Narrative-based Civics Education Game

Results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress show that less than a quarter of students reach the proficient standard for civics knowledge at grade 8 and again in grade 12.  While formal classroom instruction is identified as a standard practice for improving civics education, simulations and games provide new opportunities to simulate engagement to promote civic knowledge and understanding. In this project the team will develop a prototype of Civics Bridge, a digital interactive adventure game and companion full-year curriculum for students ages 14 to 16 to learn about and practice civics.
