Voters Ed,
developed by Second AvenueLearning, was selected as a finalist in the 2018
Serious Games Showcase and Challenge in the Business
Category.
Voters Ed is a browser-based
Serious Game that aims to give students an unbiased look into US political
history and the presidential election process.
In the game, players learn about the election process, explore
historical results, follow candidates' bids for the nomination, analyze polls,
and make their own predictions for the coming election.
In Election History, students view historically-accurate data
from every U.S. presidential election dating back to the first election in
1789.
In Primary Pursuit, students track progress as candidates seek
each party’s nomination for the presidency. As primaries take place, the
delegate counts and map are updated with the results.
The Prediction Map is where students can simulate the results of
the election. Knowledge of the Electoral College comes into play as students
make state-by-state predictions as well as forecasts of the national popular
vote.
