MissionV is providing a highly creative, totally immersive, game based learning environment for primary and post primary students. We’re putting the focus on 21st century skills, helping chidren to become original digital creators with 3D modeling and programming skills.  MissionV allows students to connect, create and collaborate in a 3D world entirely of their own making.

Our business is that of educational alchemy, the transformation that takes place when a child rediscovers the joy of learning.

“The project is innovative and is making excellent use of a number of cutting edge technologies. It is very timely given the Department of Education and Skills’ prioritisation of numeracy at both primary and post primary level. The use of a 3D learning environment and geometric building tools by children to collaboratively build 3D replicas generating a fully interactive world powered by their own software is very much in line with the thinking and implementation of the project maths curriculum at post primary which is being rolled out at present to all schools.”  

Jerome Morrisey, National Centre for Technology in Education Director

If this [MissionV] was expanded out to every school the possibilities are phenomenal!”

By targetting underachieving students Mission V will have positive effects on social inclusion particularly for those children from disadvantaged areas and will give these children an opportunity to develop their talents, learn 21st century skills and, looking to the future, allow them to compete at a high level on the national and global job markets.

First Runner Up - Edublog Awards 2010 - Best Educational Use of a Virtual World NetworkWelcome to MissionV, a not for profit organisation specialising in the use of game based learning and virtual worlds technology for the support of students; particularly those who are at risk of significantly underachieving and those with high potential. Supported by the National Centre for Technology in Education we are extending our pilot programme to 20 primary schools nationwide for the Autumn term 2011.

Participating students use geometric building tools to collaboratively construct 3D replicas of real world or fantasy structures and program those objects to generate a fully interactive world. They communicate and plan their projects via their digital character or avatar making this a truly immersive and engaging learning experience. MissionV has a key role to play in the teaching of STEM (Science, Technology, Education & Maths) subjects. Schools apply here for the MissionV Programme Year 2
