Challenge
Continuing to engage the curious, cooperative and cross platform nature of today’s interactive kids is a growing challenge for educators. While the curriculums of today may have only modestly changed over time, educators are challenged to deliver learning modules to audiences in new and competitive ways.
The emergence of episodic and experiential learning modules represents a promising delivery method, which will also benefit corporate or organizational learning as well. In fact, this format has become particularly useful where capability must be measured prior to advancement.
Solution
Redengine leveraged its technology and expertise to deliver a unique learning platform that incorporates content delivery and collaboration within an imaginary world.
The Central Institute for Exploration (CIE) represents Redengine’s inaugural episodic and educational experience leveraging our technology. This mixed reality, spy-fi series titled the Central Institute for Exploration (CIE) blends episodic and interactive storytelling, social gaming and real world exhibits to engage youngsters in exploring history and science. The series engages today’s interactive kids through the tales of a secret, time-traveling agency blurring the lines between entertainment and learning.
Redengine’s solution represents a truly revolutionary platform for delivering experiential learning.
Results
The Central Institute for Exploration (CIE) follows a secret kids-only agency dedicated to exploring the past, present and future in the pursuit of four agents who suddenly go missing.
Kids between the ages of 8 and 12 become engaged in an interactive story and an online community. Working together they are charged to unravel a series of clues transmitted via mobile phones, websites, blogs, podcasts and video.
The solutions blends technology, science, real-world locations and packages an alternate reality learning experience to captivate audiences. The project was voted “Most Viable Property” at the Annual KidScreen Summit in New York in 2007 and 2008.
