Hi everyone!

We are looking for a few 5-8th grade teachers (preferably teachers in social science / history) and their students (2-3 students per session) to play a Civics Educational game and fill out surveys. Each teacher participant will be briefed before the play session, help their students set up, observe the play, and fill out surveys when they are finished playing.

The game takes a student ~20 minutes to complete and the surveys take <5 minutes to complete. Teachers will be compensated with a $25 Amazon digital gift card. The result of the survey will contribute to new developments on the game this year. The game is designed and developed by FableVision Studios - a Boston-based educational media company. 

More info about the game itself:

“Civics: An American Musical” is a free civics-learning game that combines history, primary sources with music, inspired by the musical “Hamilton”. Students assume the role of a Broadway musical producer, adapting true events from United States history to the stage. Players use analytical skills to complete various activities based on primary sources. They earn points to build components of their musical, such as the lyrics and costumes. Topics and primary sources covered by the game ranges from Racial segregation in public school to The Chinese Exclusion Act. 

If you are interested, sign up here, or contact Snow at snow@fablevision.com. Sign up ends April 7th. 

More information about the game can be found in the teacher's guide here.
