Simulation and Social Studies Citizen Lab: Become a Citizen, Participate in the System, Understand the Curriculum

Civic Mirror gives students a working model of society to live inside. They become citizens of a simulated country with a government, economy, legal system, families, resources, competing interests, and public problems to solve.

Because students are personally affected by what happens in that world, course concepts take on a different meaning than they do through a reading, lecture, or isolated classroom activity. Government decisions affect them. Economic choices create trade-offs. Laws and rights matter. Scarcity forces choices. Other citizens change what is possible.

Those experiences become a shared frame of reference for learning. When students encounter concepts and issues in the curriculum, they have something concrete to connect them to — something they have participated in, debated, experienced, and can now make better sense of.
