Simulations are scenarios in which participants take on roles and experience life changing events. Participants will be expected to dress for their role, this may require costumes etc.; the SI staff will help each participant get into character. This Simulation will begin with a brief introduction from our fictional dignitary “Samuel Lewis” they will then precede into the scenario following the agenda outlined in the preparation materials. The participants will have prepared for a month before they come, each participant will then be prepared to represent his or her respective role. There will be an objective which must be reached as a body.
The staff at Simulations Institute will be on hand to assist participants and make sure they have a life-changing educational experience. The “Arizona v. The Virginian” simulation lasts two hours minimum; participants will be given 4 assignments involving reading, writing, and speaking. Education is such that we receive rewards equal to our investment; this is especially true regarding simulations. Participants should be able to prepare in approximately one month, utilizing a moderate amount of free-time. This simulation was designed for adults and experienced students ages fourteen and up, unless joined by a parent in the simulation. It will then be appropriate to allow those ages 12 and older to be participants.
