THE STORY:
In the year 2030 an international effort is made to send six astronauts to Mars and return them safely to Earth. Two kids are the only hope that the mission succeeds.
Alex and Zazi, are asked by a mysterious character to help uncover a conspiracy to sabotage the mission to Mars. It is up to Alex, Zazi, and the students to ensure that the astronauts complete their mission and that the saboteur is caught.
FOR TEACHERS :
Rock Mars is an interactive story that promotes group learning, critical problem solving, literacy and scientific knowledge through an exciting story in which students themselves play an integral role.
Throughout the game, students will be tasked with helping a group of astronauts complete their journey to Mars, as well as discover the identity of the crew's saboteur. The students will save the mission.
The bulk of the plot is told through an online graphic novel divided into six chapters. Each of these chapters corresponds to a unit of the game that directly relates to the Ontario and national curriculum. At the end of each chapter is a cliffhanger where the characters of the story need your students to help solve a problem.
Motivated to see what happens next, students will play educational video games and absorb lesson plans that relate to the challenges that the astronauts face. Ripe for exploration will be websites, astronaut blogs and press releases from the fictional future of this mission. These layers of interrelated content give the game a feeling of reality, as students immerse themselves in this fictional world.
