Summary

The multi-player prototype game Astroversity was developed with the International Centre for Digital Content (ICDC) and uses gaming technology. The scenario, content, and puzzles were constructed iteratively in order to create an environment that has the same engagement as mainstream games but supports the development of collaborative and scientific enquiry skills in students aged 12 to 14.
