Welcome to MissionV, a not for profit organisation specialising in the use of game based learning initiatives and virtual worlds technology for the support of primary and post-primary 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 extended our pilot programme to 20 primary schools nationwide in the school year 2011/12. Schools apply here for the MissionV Programme Year 2
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.
MissionV is transforming the Irish classroom, actively addressing the achievement gap and impacting positively on the learning experiences, learning outcomes and life chances of Irish children.
