Design Thinking and Innovation through Games: A Quickfire Fiero! Experience

February 2025 - 21CLHK

Explore design thinking, STEAM and technology concepts, futures thinking, and entrepreneurship with Fiero!, a creative storytelling game by Press Start Studios! Designed to spark innovation and collaboration, Fiero! encapsulates the principles of creativity, entrepreneurship and impact in an easy-to-play format.

Following our signature #playlearngrow approach, this session will start with the all-important play session, for you to experience Fiero! and its engaging gameplay in full, before introducing the game as a hands-on tool for fostering creative thinking and innovation, and learning and applying design thinking and futures thinking. Participants will also experience a game-based, co-creative approach to creative storytelling, and how this game can lead to powerful, impact-driven ideas at the forefront of technology, and take away free plug-and-play teaching resources that can go with Fiero! Pocket, an abridged version of Fiero! designed just for teachers.

Fiero! is Press Start Studios’ first retail product, developed off sister brand Press Start Academy’s successful track record in game-based education. Fiero! was brought to life through a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, and has already been played by 500+ people across six countries.
