| Short Description | Turn career planning into a game, using design thinking and game loops as a framework to map your energy and prototype your next career moves. Your loot includes an energy map and odyssey plans. |
| Long Description | Participants will be guided through the session using design thinking and video game style progression loops to build a practical career development system. After a short framing on loops (goals, actions, feedback, rewards), you will complete two take home tools: an Energy Map and a three path Odyssey Plan. You can translate each Odyssey into a playable plan by defining: a 2 week prototype, the skills to earn as XP, the NPCs who can help (mentors, peers), and a simple reflection checkpoint to adjust difficulty. Designed for educators and industry professionals who want a structured way to explore career moves without overcommitting and a toolkit to help others level up their careers. No prior design thinking experience required. |
