The smart game for teaching critical thinking.

With its ‘save the world plot’, Operation ARA (Acquiring Research Acumen) is an interactive smart game that helps students sharpen their critical thinking and research methods skills. Students will encounter an extra-terrestrial conspiracy that is mobilizing to erode human civilization by subverting the scientific method.

The program includes an embedded critical thinking assessment that is provided in two forms so that it can be used as a pre- and a post- test, to assess critical thinking outcomes.
