The Pack Activity Guide
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

The Pack is a digital game that encourages learners to use Computational Thinking (CT) to solve problems they encounter in the futuristic world of Algos, where healthy ecosystems have faltered and water and food are scarce. Throughout the game, players must find food sources to attract their own Pack of Algos creatures. These creatures have various functions (like digging, moving, grabbing, and bumping) that can help the player collect seeds and bring water to dry areas. Creatures can be combined to form algorithms that perform complex tasks and overcome challenges. Players’ use of these algorithms is the key to finding all of the seeds and restoring harmony to Algos!

The Pack game and supplemental activities are designed to support middle schoolers in engaging with Computational Thinking concepts and practices while reinforcing basic scientific reasoning. The supplemental activities encourage players to reflect on their gameplay through the lens of Computational Thinking and to explore how solving problems in the game connects to the ways they can solve problems in class and beyond. The supplemental activities can be implemented in a classroom, as part of an after-school program, or even as an activity for families to do together at home.

Rating
0.0 stars

In The Phoenix Project, 3-5 players take on the roles of community members striving to rebuild their city after ruination and disaster. In this game, players collaboratively create a map across four phases of gameplay—Determine the Disaster, The City Before, The City at Present, and The City to Come. Players take turns during these phases, building on, expanding, and complicating each other's contributions to the map with the goal of telling a rich and evolving story of adaptability in the face of world-changing events and circumstances. The game aims to foster cooperation, creativity, and empathy as players navigate challenges and obstacles, shaping the future of their city and their world. While the length of gameplay can be adjusted by the players as they wish, the standard game is expected to take around 45 to 60 minutes to play.
