Gameification for knowledge development and attractiveness for steel and metals in a sustainable world

Purpose and goal

The aim of the project was to develop a new modern, inspiring and knowledge-developing exhibition methodology where gameification and digital functions such as VR and AR illustrate the exciting world that exists around industries linked to steel and metals. With the new exhibition methodology, we can inspire to education and the public is given an increased understanding of how industries linked to minerals and metals contribute to the global sustainability goals. And give them inspiring insights around all the many professions that are involved and can contribute to the results.

Expected results and effects

The exhibition prototype that has been developed has succeeded in capturing the interest of many significant stakeholders and thereby created intended conditions for the continued establishment work. The prototype contains ready-made methodology for all four knowledge modules. The four modules can be adapted for different themes and content. The first installation will be a demo exhibition that is already being used in collaboration with, among others, the Swedish Technical Museum for how to work to create increased attractiveness for industries linked to minerals and metals.

Planned approach and implementation

The project has been carried out in an environment where prospective collaborators and creators of ideas have not been involved for various reasons. As a result, this provided a different way of working than intended and contributed to challenges that led to two extensions of the project period. It also meant that the project replaced a collaborating partner. But despite the challenges, the project has been implemented in a way that in many respects exceeds the goals and creates better conditions for long-term sustainable results in accordance with the program´s goals and objectives.
