The “Crossfire on the Floor” simulation is one of the institute’s most exciting events. Delegates are expected to temporarily become and portray a current legislator, either as a senator or congressman. Experienced students ages 14-18 will be in the Senate while the House of Representatives will be comprised of less advanced students ages 12-16. All together there will be about 20 students in the Senate and 40 students in the House of Representatives, both houses writing and lobbying for bills; bills will then be taken to the other house and voted on. Participants will be introduced to all related scenario themes gradually as they work through the preparation materials.

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 at least one month before the event.

The staff at Simulations Institute will be on hand to assist participants and make sure they have a life-changing educational experience. The “Crossfire on the Floor” simulation lasts five days; Education is such that we receive rewards in proportion to our investments; this is especially true regarding simulations. Participants should begin preparing as soon as they receive their preparation materials. This simulation was designed for advanced students ages 12-18, though it may be very powerful at a future event for those with higher learning experience, exceptions may be made for younger students willing to pay the price for academic excellence.

Registration information may be obtained by e-mailing alevie@simulate.cc. This is a five day seminar students will experience humor, frustration, joy, debate, fun and rigorous work. Each student’s emotional buttons will be pushed at both ends of the spectrum; it is the nature of simulations. Though the SI staff will be on hand for support and encouragement, the simulation will be completely run by the students. Students having prepared ahead will realize simulations are more real and have greater impact when the students take full responsibility.  The simulation fee for “Crossfire on the Floor” is $250.00. Once registered, participants will receive a letter of invitation from the “dignitary” Samuel Lewis explaining the situation, objective and the history behind the scenario.

The death toll in North and South America was enormous, with both continents loosing just under a third of their populations. The rebuilding effort has been slow but strong and local governments have been organizing. A few individuals have been corresponding together about the benefit of a national government. Some, have been concerned about local protection from marauding groups. Other issues have also emerged such as how to fund the rebuilding.

This simulation was created to rediscover and redefine “Womanhood”. What a great event to attend with your daughter, discussing a women’s role and then play it out in a scenario. Participants will play the roles of great and influential woman throughout history, past and present. Never before have Abigail Adams, Joan of Arc, Mother Theresa and others, come to the same room to discuss the nature and roll of women in our society.

“I have often imagined what it would be like to be one of Jane Austin’s characters or Abigail Adams.  What universal concerns do women share through the ages?  What fresh and unique perspective could a great lady of the 18th or 19th centuries give to a woman of our time?  It is very intriguing to consider what women from various times could teach one another.”
