It brings the dynamics of a complex world to your classroom

Giving your students the chance to apply the knowledge they have learned, and practice the skills they need to succeed in top-flight careers

We are delighted to be working with

I enjoyed working with Andrew and Warrick very much, as did my students. They were able to tailor the experience to my cohort and the point in the programme the activity fell.

The immersive experience for students was a highlight of the semester in terms of the activity itself and the skills they developed during the process.

The structure and rigour of the approach means I will be able to assess the final output of the activity as part of my own module next academic year.

Why you should consider Power | Influence | Change

  • Our games are tailored to the needs of your students, the content of your module, and your timetable

  • Our games immerse your students in dynamic real world environments based on up-to-date current affairs

  • Our games and facilitators consistently receive brilliant feedback from students and academics

  • We provide students digital badges, CV and social media material to help boost their employability

How it works

  • Whether it’s ‘hard’ technical skills, or ‘soft’ professional skills, we can create a game that gives your students the chance to apply the knowledge and practice the skills they’ve been learning in your classroom in a dynamic, real-world scenario

  • Students are motivated to learn if the materials involve subject matter they’re interested in or passionate about. We design games with storylines built around current topics that students are highly engaged with

  • This includes the number of students you want to involve, the amount of time you want to spend on the game, and where and when you want it to run. We recognise that the quality of the game and its impact on your students will be shaped by these factors

  • We’ll design a game based on the information you’ve given us. We’ll put it in a proposal to you and price it up, and work with you from there to ensure the game meets your needs and expectations
