项目摘要

PROJECT ABSTRACT This Phase II STTR project will develop Caduceus Quest, an interactive multimedia resource to promote knowledge and interest in careers in STEM and health. It includes a digital game and a table-top analog game. An initial prototype of the Caduceus Quest digital game was developed and tested over the course of our Phase I project. A multidisciplinary team from Resilient Games Studio LLC, Ci3 (the Center for Interdisciplinary Inquiry and Innovation in Sexual and Reproductive Health), and a robust team of advisors will expand the existing prototype into the game’s final form. The full commercial version of Caduceus Quest will consist of a theory- based, role-playing game, and accompanying analog game, in which players build teams of STEM/health professions (e.g., doctors, epidemiologists, and engineers) to solve an emerging epidemiologic mystery. These components are supplemented by an analog and digital curriculum. All elements are hosted on a learning management system for better integration in the formal and informal setting allowing for student assessment and curriculum development. The game will be evaluated through a participatory formative and outcome evaluation. A stakeholder advisory team comprised of youth ages 14-17 and another comprised of educators from a variety of disciplines will support the iterative development of the intervention. The outcome evaluation will be conducted with 120 youth ages 14-17 using surveys and focus groups. By the conclusion of the Phase II project, Caduceus Quest will be ideally positioned for commercial distribution.

项目摘要 STTR 第二阶段项目将开发 Caduceus Quest，这是一种交互式多媒体资源，旨在促进它包括数字游戏和桌面模拟游戏。在我们的阶段中开发并测试了 Caduceus Quest 数字游戏的初始原型我的项目来自 Resilient Games Studio LLC、Ci3（跨学科调查中心）。和性与生殖健康方面的创新），强大的顾问团队将扩展现有的《Caduceus Quest》的完整商业版本将包含以下理论：基于角色扮演的游戏以及附带的模拟游戏，玩家可以在其中建立 STEM/健康团队专业人士（例如医生、流行病学家和工程师）来解决新出现的流行病学之谜。组件由模拟和数字课程补充所有元素都以学习为基础。管理系统，以便更好地融入正式和非正式环境，以便对学生进行评估和课程开发将通过参与性形成和结果评估进行评估。利益相关者咨询团队由 14 至 17 岁的青少年组成，另一个团队由来自不同领域的教育工作者组成多个学科将支持干预措施的迭代开发。通过调查和焦点小组调查，对 120 名 14 至 17 岁的青少年进行了调查。在第二阶段项目结束时，Caduceus 进行了调查。 Quest 将处于商业发行的理想位置。
