The document outlines a gamification framework for STEM projects, emphasizing a constructivist approach where lessons are treated as games to foster teamwork and independent competition. Teachers serve as facilitators, guiding students through a structured 'plan-do-review' cycle while utilizing a Business Model Scorecard for effective planning and execution. The framework encourages pilot testing to validate hypotheses about the gamification experience, particularly in contexts like Sierra Leone.

1. About the Plan-Do-Review (PDR) Gamification Framework
for STEM Projects
• In the Gamification Framework for the STEM Project, each Class Lesson, Exercise, or
Experiment is regarded as a game to be played by teams. Teams can independently 'race'
and/or compete 'head-to-head.’
• For the STEM Project, some gamification events or exercises can be 'independent races'
against time on the clock while other events or games could involve teams competing against
each other.
• The main role of the teacher in the gamification framework is as a game organizer and
facilitator rather than as a 'fountain of knowledge' like in traditional teaching. Gamification
strongly relies on a philosophy or paradigm of Constructivism
(Discovery/Scaffolding/Experiential Learning).
• To facilitate rapid design, planning, and prototyping of games for the STEM Project a
Business Model Scorecoard (BMS)-Gameboard can be used for planning, organizing, and
managing any STEM class, lesson, experiment, or project. Anyone could print and use a BMS
Gameboard for any STEM project.
• At best, it would be great if a pilot test (Minimum Viable Prototype or MVP), which uses the 8
Step PDR Gamification Framework, could be done to rapidly validate our hypotheses
regarding the Gamification experience for the STEM project in Sierra Leone.

8 Step "Plan-Do-Review (PDR)" Framework for Deploying Gamification Lessons in a STEM Project
PLAN
1) State, explain, and/or describe a short story behind the challenge/quest/problem for the STEM game, experiment, class, or project.
2) Let students form small teams (between 2 to 4 kids) with or without assigned roles to be played; however, the team should choose a
Team Captain who manages activities of the team and presents results.
3) Explain the benefits, instructions, rules, success criteria, and reward/prize of the game to be played while demonstrating what should be
done.
DO
4) Let team play game (do or experiment with the activity/task/exercise) while achieving result or desired learning outcome.
5) Compare results of each team and award points (stickers/badges/prizes) for their efforts, teamwork, achievements, and/or results.
REVIEW
6) Review or reflect, with each team, regarding what worked well and what did not work well in terms of expectations.
7) Document as well as let team members share insights and lessons learned from playing the game.
8) Decide on Next Steps ... in the Plan-Do-Review (PDR) Learning Cycle which can be summarized as a cycle of three processes:
Plan the Game, Do the Game, Review the Game.
