We’re thrilled to promote futures thinking, especially when 3 of our own (Katie King, Maria Gabriela Romero Mejias, Jason Swanson) are involved in the organization!
From KnowledgeWorks:
IMPACT: Learning Edition is a board game that uses futures thinking to help you imagine and think critically about changes that could impact the future of learning. Players take on diverse characters – each with their own role, values and unique set of preferred future conditions – and compete to create a world where their future role is relevant and secure.
Perfect for three to five players, IMPACT: Learning Edition helps players to recognize the roles they play in shaping the future they want – even after the game is over.
Do you love IMPACT: Learning Edition as much as we do? You can help share the love on social media. Below are some templates we’ve created [link is actually here], but we think it’ll be even better with your personal touch! So feel free to adapt the templates with your voice or to your audience. What was your reaction to the game? What was your favorite part of the game? Did you have an a-ha moment? We’d love to know!

More about KnowledgeWorks
KnowledgeWorks is a national nonprofit based in Cincinnati, Ohio, that has been creating the future of learning for 20 years. In addition to our history transforming schools through Project Grad, the Ohio High School Transformation Initiative, the Early College High School Initiative and the College in High School Alliance, our investments have yielded the birth of collective impact through StriveTogether and the growth of project-based learning with the New Tech Network, both of which we spun off into successful nonprofits that stand on their own.
Committed to a systems approach to the future of learning, we’re engaged in partnerships with school districts, state departments of education and education service agencies in Arizona, North Dakota, Ohio and South Carolina, and we’re working deeply to align systems in Michigan, Minnesota and Utah. Each year we invest human and thought capital in advocacy, policy, strategic foresight, research and practice – and we multiply those investments through our work with our partners to ensure that the future of teaching and learning reflects the hopes of every learner in every learning community.
At KnowledgeWorks, we partner with learning communities to create purposeful paths and places to ensure each student graduates ready for what’s next. Through evidence-based practices and a commitment to equitable outcomes, we’re creating the future of learning, together.
