Gaming for the Brain 2.0 Summer 2024

Leave a comment

20+ Educational games elevate the cognitive learnings to real-world application, bridging fiction & reality with the concepts of

Man & Self | Man & Man | Man & World

Self Awareness | Collaboration | Sustainability

👇🏻Watch this trailer for course details👇🏻

What’s your plan for your kids this summer?

Let’s face the fact – no matter how many activities are lined up, we just can’t stop them from playing video games during their leisure time. They worked hard, they deserve that.

What if they can also learn conscious-gaming, and make the whole experience a learning enhancement?

After our overwhelmingly successful 2023 summer camp, we elevate what students can learn from gaming to a higher level – Gaming for the Brain 2.0

Games take time. That’s what most of the world believes, at least, and they’d be right. But what loads of people forget is that games take effort. Games take skill. Patience. Resilience. Determination. Problem-solving. Games take you to the next level of thinking and reflecting about our world.

What is a man, but a tapestry of all the experiences he has lived?

Last time in Gaming For The Brain, we looked at all the elements that make up video games, from the intrinsic to the extrinsic, with the ultimate goal of learning how to appreciate games as a whole. This year, Gaming For The Brain 2.0 will elevate those teachings to the level of real-world application, bridging fiction and reality with the concepts of “Man and Self”, “Man and Man”, and “Man and World”.

This camp will use video games as a medium to explore these philosophical topics, answering the question of how video games can be a medium for human interaction, decoding them in such a way that their teachings become applicable in our daily lives.

The online world is ever-expanding, and the future is impossible to live in without digital literacy and a comprehension of where sustainability has its place in both the real and virtual worlds. All of this, and more, in Gaming For The Brain 2.0.

睇吓渴書會The Avid Reader Club TREE嘅學生點樣喺一場Jackbox遊戲《Devils and the Details》中得到靈感同啟發，設計同撰寫一個新嘅學校系統，以提高學生嘅合作與學習效率。

Why is ‘The Devils & The Details’ the way to enhance students’ learning, hence helping them to become future-proof?

– by Keira Chu (Y7) written in April2024

Imagine a system where a balance between teamwork and independence is achieved, where students can manage their tasks and projects in a way that can enhance their learning experience. Inspired by the popular game “The Devils and The Details”, we present to you a groundbreaking task-management tool that brings this vision to life — “The Humans and The Details” (also known as THTD).

Now you might be thinking, how exactly does this so-called “sytem” work? Well, think of each student as a chef in a restaurant, and their goal is to have a successful week by making meals and managing their time effectively. 

In this restaurant, there’s a board that keeps track of each chef’s progress. On the board, there are two bars for each chef: one for meals that require the help of other chefs and one for meals that can be prepared individually. Everytime a chef completes a dish, they earn points. Of course, number of points they earn for each task can vary, depending on the complexity or difficulty of preparing different dishes. 

The ultimate goal for every chef is to fill both bars entirely by the end of the week. To achieve their aim, the chefs need to manage their time wisely and balance their efforts between collaboration tasks and individual tasks. At the start of a new week, the bars reset back to 0, giving the chefs a fresh start and a chance to improve their performance. However, if a chef fails to fill either one of the bars, or even both, a warning is issued. Three warnings and the restaurant will enroll the chef in a skill-building workshop. This workshop brings in industry professionals, experts, or experienced mentors who can provide practical training, tips, and techniques to enhance the chef’s collaboration and task management skills.

The Humans and The Details not only encourages students to develop essential skills such as collaboration, time/task management, and critical thinking (which can improve their performance and in turn, reflect positively on the school’s academic outcomes), but also ensures an engaging learning experience. Through a gamified approach to task management, we can motivate students to actively participate and make the process much more enjoyable and engaging for them as well.

In a world where AI is growing and popularising rapidly, it is crucial for students to achieve a good level of efficiency. That’s why this new task-management tool is the new way of learning. Absorbing knowledge and memorising text will not help prepare these students for a future where AI is dominant and reshaping the way we work, which is why many schools are already starting to adopt this new method. 

Unlock the future of education with “The Humans and The Details” — revolutionising task management to empower students with essential skills for success in an AI-driven world. Together, let’s shape the next generation of future-ready leaders!

– by Curtis Chu (Y7) written in April 2024 (Business Proposal)

The newest creation of our company called the DeVails (short form for devil and details) Is our way to increase student productivity and enjoyment. Our idea for this experiment appeared in our mind when we visited a school and many of the students did not collaborate when they worked as a group.

Students love games, we all know that, but what they love more is being competitive. And we put those 2 things together in our online product, while not harming relationships between classmates. As we all used to be students, we must understand the feeling of working in a group with no one helping. Our creation is a time and accuracy reward based system. This could be displayed in a Tv or hologram across the classroom, where in a group project, they would have to spend a lesson creating a step by step map of all the steps to create an ideal result. For example, if your example was an architecture project, where you had to build a model for the Petronas twin towers. You would input all of the steps allocated to each group member, the ideal result, and the time set for this step. On the day of the project, these tasks would appear for each person and you would have to complete these tasks in the fastest time while being accurate. If you don’t complete these tasks, it would be displayed to the teacher and would lower the grade for the people who didn’t do it. The amount of marks deducted would be according to the amount of tasks you didn’t do. Vise versa, if the task has been done to an ideal result or in quick speed, you will earn better grades personally.

DeVails has already been implemented in some of the most famous schools in the world, including the school of Nerds and the School of Rogue-Like Enjoyers. We think that this will increase the motivation and drive to do their work.

DeVails can of course be applied in different places, if someone has bad behavior. Instead of sending them to detention or expelling them, you could set them tasks to do. A great example is if someone has been extremely rude to the staff around the school, you could set disciplinary tasks like being polite to every staff member they see. DeVails is much better than stopping their behavior for a short period of time, but rather building a habit for them to act better.

Since our lives are so reliant on the act of others, you won’t want them to be useless will you? Now is the perfect chance to adopt DeVails to improve the collaboration of your school.

Gaming for the Brain Summer 2023

Leave a comment

Unlock the treasures in gaming | Apply skills in real-life learning

Help your children change their

mindless screen-staring habit;

Turn it into Conscious Gaming!

What’s your plan for your kids this summer?

Let’s face the fact – no matter how many activities are lined up, we just can’t stop them from playing video games during their leisure time. They worked hard, they deserve that.

What if they can also learn conscious-gaming, and make the whole experience a learning enhancement?

Our most epic course ever designed – Gaming for the Brain – is what you need!

From the psychological perspective of why we play games, to the cognitive aspects that games deliver,

this program covers EVERYTHING a gamer can learn —

gameplay, character development, player interaction, strategies, art and music direction.

Gaming is no longer a reactive activity for children,

but a proactive learning portal to tap into!

What’s more, I will teach your children how this intrinsic appreciation of games

leads to the success of its extrinsic values —

the companies that make them, the franchise, the hype of the competitive $100-billion gaming industry,

and most interesting of all probably is how to get into the game industry!!

We’ve heard enough of our kids saying that, haven’t we?

Be they programmers, game designers, story designers, game artists, music composers, user experience experts (UX)…

they can all start NOW by polishing their skills and pave their ways to their dream industry!

Don’t worry…your kids won’t be coming to my centre and just playing games!

Learning techniques will be taught and practiced everyday.

We will cover group discussions, focus practice, game review writing, game design and team debate.

This is what META-LEARNING is about – enjoyable and fun is the KEY!

We may even invite some cool speakers from the game industry to give us a talk!

It’s gonna be eye-opening and interactive!

Enjoy our early bird offer to get as low as HK$285/hr class rate!

Sign up for our 10-day course to get the most holistic view of gaming for only HK$10,000; or choose just any one week for a 5-day course for HK$6,000. Early bird offer will end after May31, 2023.

We will cover all the learning enhancement techniques for both 5 / 10-day program, the only difference is the games introduced.
Program schedule will be sent to registrant upon enrolment.

YES! I WANT TO SIGN UP NOW TO ENJOY EARLY BIRD!

I have the habit of taking photos of what I read, and since I started TARC I also started to record the books I read to my students during every class, and share with their parents afterwards.

A nice way to describe this habit is ‘very organised’; less kind is what I also gladly admit as ‘OCD’. (Oppressive Compulsive Disorder). I used to keep book journals too, with the book cover printed out & stuck on a page where I wrote my thoughts about it. I know I’m going a bit too far…Anyhow…

While I take photos of my books (or books my kids read), I also always hear an inner voice of mine talking about them as if I were listening to a book critique – what’s the takeaway (message), how it resembles another book, why the book is popular, how do the authors research on the topics, why my 11-year old boy is reading a book about careers?!!? etc…

Then an idea came – if what a chef covers in his/her blog is about the seasonal ingredients, or a new dish new flavour, the blog of a reading club should naturally cover the books that we read/recommend/hate?

Great! That means I can start to put down all my thoughts about the books that I read, systematically, in one place that I can also share with other book lovers. That is what I am going to do with The Avid Reader Club Facebook Page

Each week, I will post a ‘Book-appetit’, a review by me, my family, and eventually my students. My ultimate goal is to advocate the love of reading for a wide selection of books. Be a risk taker, and expand your horizon and give every facet of this interesting world of books a try!

Book-appetit!

A Book for A Book 2016

Leave a comment

It was back 3 years ago when I first started a book swap program among my kids’ friends.

The intention was very simple – reuse, recycle, reduce; save money, save space, share interest.

Every time when I try to clear my bookshelf, I feel bad that so many well-conditioned books which have left such wonderful reading memory to me are sadly discarded by my kids (a good problem maybe, since it means Ali & Mei Mei are really obsessed with reading and need more and more books…).

However, just the idea of throwing the books away simply hurts me. Donating them cannot really lessen much my guilty feeling of leaving books to the landfill.  For me, all books are such treasure of thoughts from different people. They are living things. They are wisdom. They must be respected (I actually don’t allow my kids leave their books on the floor, or worst, step on them).

3 years ago,  I decided to test the water, seeing how this concept could work. Each kids brought along 10-20 books they no longer read, put them together, and took their friends’ books. I gave this book swap program a name “A Book for A Book“, a funny pun of “An Eye for An Eye”, or like its Chinese translation “以牙還牙；倒不如以書還書“！

Not only can kids start to have more intellectual exchanges about books, they also cherish more the books their parents unconditionally bought for them. During the swap, I saw kids ask if they can have their books returned after their friends finish it, or a few of them agreed to take turn to read an interesting book. Of course, no need to mention how much money we parents can save, and how much we help to recycle, reuse and reduce!!

To celebrate the official launch of The Avid Reader Club, this year’s A Book for A Book was the largest ever! With more than 100 friends & guests came to our centre ATEC (One Island South) during the afternoon of Aug20, 2016, we collected a record high of 934 books for exchange! Thank you for joining us!!
