CAREER ORIENTATION

Discovering your future through play. How gaming can contribute to career guidance.

 

Digital games have long been a part of young people's lives. So why not use this enthusiasm specifically for action-oriented, self-directed learning processes?

 

The Mars Mission combines the best of two different worlds: the immersive power of gaming and the practical exploration of career prospects. The whole thing is based on the principle of "serious games." Serious games are games that, in addition to entertainment, place a special emphasis on imparting knowledge and developing skills.

 

In the Mars mission this means:

 

  • Players immerse themselves in a virtual world

  • Players discover realistic professional environments

  • Players solve typical job tasks

  • Players gain insight into work processes

 

 

The Mars Mission can be used, for example, as part of career guidance classes at schools, educational institutions, etc. The following framework serves as a guide or recommendation:

 

Time required (approximate playing time): 120 minutes

Recommended age: From 8th grade

School type: cross-educational, low-threshold game structure

INSIGHTS INTO THE GAME

In the Mars Mission, players encounter eight different professional tasks. These include technical, gastronomic, and commercial activities. Each station is modeled after a real-life partner company.
