What is the Digital Leadership Simulation?

The Digital Leadership Simulation offers an immersive, game-based experience that brings leadership and decision-making to life. Accessible from anywhere, participants step into high-stakes roles such as President Reagan, cabinet officials, and military leaders, tackling the challenges of leading in a globally connected, pressure-filled environment.

In 1983, democracy hangs in the balance as Grenada becomes a flashpoint where the safety of American students is at risk. Players take on pivotal roles during Operation Urgent Fury, including President Reagan and military leaders, making real-time decisions to secure the student's safe return while navigating the complexities of regional stability and global scrutiny.

How Does It Work?

  1. Set Up: Teachers are sent the link to access the simulation module. Once you begin the simulation, you will have a 72-hour window to run the experience with your student. There is a demonstration button so you can test the system as many times as needed.

  2. Engage: Students participate in interactive scenarios and make decisions. Your dashboard will pop up and you will see the first set of decisions offered for both Oval Office and Military for the first of four decisions to be made.

  3. Analyze: Teachers and students review performance and insights.
