The game
In this game, the player is placed in the role of a presidential advisor. In order to gain a holistic understanding of the situation, the player interviews people with different perspectives, and learns how to ask meaningful questions.
Acting Presidential is a part of an iCivics suite — a collection of educational games that aim to inspire young people to participate in democracy and civic engagement. iCivics games are part of many US public school curriculums.
