Game it Away! – Entrepreneurship Education through Game Design & Maker-Centred Learning
Game it Away intends to stimulate innovative learning and teaching practices, by developing and implementing a transcidisciplinary and learner-centred approach to Entrepreneurship Education, combining game design and marker-centred learning.
The project aims to develop and implement a new transdisciplinary and learner-centred approach to Entrepreneurship Education (EE), to act more effectively on the development of an entrepreneurial mindset and skills, and to make EE more available and accessible to a vaster number and wider diversity of higher education students.
This approach combines game design and maker-centred learning, joining several practical seminars to team challenges for higher education students with the objective of developing a game concept and creating a physical gameusing digital tools and equipment available in makerspaces.
The main activities involve creating an Entrepreneurship Training Programme (ETP) following a systematic process of testing with target groups and improvement. Then, the ETP will be implemented at international level with HE students from different countries, leading to the establishment of an international EE programme between the partner organisations. Finally, a set of workshops will equip entrepreneurship educators to implement the ETP, establishing grounds for its wider spread.
