As Seen On:

Bring Your Future to the Table

IMPACT: Learning Edition聽is a board game that uses futures thinking to help you imagine and think critically about changes that could impact the future of learning. Players take on diverse characters 鈥� each with their own role, values and unique set of preferred future conditions 鈥� and compete to create a world where their future role is relevant and secure.

Perfect for three to five players,聽IMPACT: Learning Edition聽helps players to recognize the roles they play in shaping the future they want 鈥� even after the game is over.

鈥淛ust reading about a policy change is not usually going to make it stick in your brain, but having some sort of interaction with it, a conversation, a story you have to tell around building the headline, that actually creates those neuropathways and connections in your brain that allow you to remember.鈥�

鈥� Calli Wright, Unfiltered Gamer

鈥淕ames are a really effective way to create space for folks to approach issues impacting learning creatively and through a different lens. It is great to see another tool out there!鈥�

鈥� Jessica Fuller, Director of Project Development and Operations, RESCHOOL Colorado

鈥淭hrough role-playing, the game naturally attunes players to see the greater system you are operating within so each gain or loss might be viewed as an opportunity. I could imagine how over time this 鈥榮ystems鈥� way of thinking would naturally lead to more holistic approaches to solving community-wide issues leading to stronger, more resilient communities? Wouldn't it be wonderful to empower not just young people in their learning but all people with this way of seeing into the future?鈥�
