SciSkill Quest™ Play Testing


Mindset Works is offering a unique opportunity to get a first look at our newest resource, SciSkill Quest, a game designed to help students learn inquiry skills and science concepts based on the Next Generation Science Standards. We are looking to partner with elementary school teachers in grades 3-5 to test our game while it’s still in development. Students will have the opportunity to playtest the game and provide feedback to inform future designs. We are still putting the final touches on the game, but here is a demo video of an earlier prototype, if you wish to learn more about the content and game flow.

 

Below are details for teachers interested in playtesting with us:

We will ask students and teachers to:
  • play a science game prototype aimed to develop growth mindsets in science
  • complete a short survey about their gameplay experience and elements of the game they liked/disliked
  • have access to computers, internet access, and web browser (Chrome, Firefox or Microsoft Edge)
  • reserve a total of approximately 2 hours for playtesting and survey reflection, split up into 2-4 sessions
  • have all sessions occur within one calendar week
  • complete playtest and surveys by Friday, April 28th
