Bouwend Nederland e-learning tool

The Build@School app is an initiative under the name of Bouwend Nederland to kindle high school students' interest for construction. The app is in line with the national multiannual 'Instroom' program, introduced under the name of 'Modern Employership' in schools. In short, students are brought into contact with people from the (construction) sector. A mission that DTT likes to take part in.

The focus of the game is on interactivity with classmates and the game supervisor. Students in teams are challenged by means of a knowledge quiz, an interactive calculation game and a building game. The Build@School tool will be used in classrooms. There is one game leader who can supervise the game through a web dashboard and see the results. The content of the game is also fully manageable through a content management system (CMS).

"Since 2015 we are playing a construction game at schools to encourage students to choose for construction technology. This game in which a Lego house has to be built, was supervised by a few game leaders. As it was becoming a problem to find enough game leaders every time, the decision was made to change the game into a digital construction game. This is how I came in contact with DTT in Amsterdam. After meeting with Jeffrey and his organization, we decided to let DTT build the game. This has been done to great satisfaction of our Foundation "Build@School". The employees of DTT were always there to process questions and suggestions that we had. The game is being played for a year now and we intend to expand the game further. Of course we would like to do this again with the cooperation of DTT."
