Gamification in Education Programs
September 22, 2025
10:00am MST – 11:30am MST
Free, Virtual
Are you looking to breathe new life into your education programs; gamification may be the key!
Gamification allows museums and historic sites to bring the concepts of games into their education programs to increase student participation, content retention, and program utilization. In this session we’ll start by looking at the key concepts of gamification. We’ll then explore ways that museums and historic sites of all sizes can work it into their programs, including adding activities to current programs and reworking your entire program into game form. We’ll examine two programs at the Wyoming State Museum – our Year in the Life of a Mountain Man field trip and our Travel the Oregon Trail field trip. For each program we’ll discuss the steps to create the gamified program, difficult points along the way, what we learned, and the outcome. We will also look at resources and vendors that organizations can utilize.
