CIVICS BRIDGE: NARRATIVE-BASED CIVICS EDUCATION GAME

Civics Bridge will be an online adventure game accompanied by in-person hybrid classroom activities, with supplementary components to support deeper dives into topics plus roleplaying opportunities. The digital narrative game portion follows two time-traveling anthropomorphic cats who introduce students to noted historical figures and to foundational knowledge concepts. The hybrid classroom activities branch out from the digital interactive game so that students can role-play and practice civic skills. Results from the hybrid activities are then input back into the digital game, changing its outcomes. The game and accompanying curriculum will cover a majority of the National Standards for Civics and Government and will be used to replace or supplement the existing curriculum.
