SKYRISE INTERACTIVE DESIGN FUELING ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET IN YOUNG LEARNERSKhadeeja

Abstract

Entrepreneurial skills like creativity, risk-taking, and problem-solving are increasingly vital for future success. Yet, traditional education often struggles to nurture these crucial abilities. Enter interactive games—an emerging avenue for engaging and effective learning. This study delves into their potential to develop essential entrepreneurial skills in children aged 10 and above, specifically within the Pakistani context. Through a thorough literature review, the research explores the significance of early entrepreneurial skill development and the benefits of learning through play and interactive games. It investigates existing research on leveraging these tools for entrepreneurship education, highlighting key design principles and successful game-based learning initiatives. The project aims to contribute to the field of gamified entrepreneurship education using the medium of serious board game design by investigating innovative approaches and assessing their effectiveness in cultivating vital skills for young minds. By bridging the gap between play and learning, this research seeks to empower young Pakistanis to shape their economic futures.
