Moon Adventure Game
Channel: NC State University Libraries
Date: 2021-11-12

Living in an outpost on the Moon is dangerous. Survival on the Moon will require teamwork! Members of the libraries' escape room team will work together to solve a series of challenges grounded in real science about living and doing research on the Moon.

The premise of the game, developed by the National Informal STEM Education Network (NISE Net), is a fictional story grounded in actual NASA science and research about what people might need in the future to live and work on the Moon. The challenges are based on real scientific concepts connected to lunar exploration. Librarians will assume the role of astronauts living and doing research in an outpost on the Moon. As players conduct research, a moonquake causes significant damage to the life support systems on the outpost. Survival on the Moon requires teamwork. Can our librarians work together to quickly restore the necessary systems to survive?

Join the libraries team and guest Max Cawley of the Museum of Life and Science as they attempt to complete the Moon Adventure game from the NISE Net. After the game, enjoy a lively discussion on using games as pedagogy.
