Learning objectives
The French National Federation of Public Works (FNTP) suffered from a lack of awareness and attractiveness to young people due to an “unsexy” image. It decided to make training in Public Works a national cause! The FNTP has thus launched a major information campaign aimed at this public in order to help them discover the sector and to encourage new vocations.
The FNTP has set up the tp.demain platform, a library of educational resources dedicated to the Public Works professions.
In order to make this discovery more attractive and engaging, and to raise awareness of the real issues and functions of each profession, the FNTP has chosen to develop a serious game in the form of an escape game. Through a fun adventure full of challenges, the player must rebuild the infrastructure of an island devastated by a storm. To carry out his various missions, he must in particular learn about the trades, the skills required and the machinery necessary for the realization of these works. Punctuated with puzzles to solve, the serious game makes this learning fun.
This scenario enables the player to take ownership of the information and facilitate their understanding of each person’s role in achieving concrete and essential objectives, such as providing drinking water, energy, etc.
After Storm also includes a complete directory including:
– job descriptions summarizing the role, skills and training required
– machines explaining their function
– infrastructures detailing their purpose
The cards in this repository are unlocked as the game progresses and you meet new characters and new quests. It can be consulted at any time by the player.
This serious game also transmits the values of innovation and respect for the environment of the FNTP as well as to become aware of the major role of Public Works in the ecological transition.
