Rural & Farm Safety

ESCAPE MAIL

We are recruiting youth to apply their Earth-based
knowledge to the mission of safely farming on Mars.

STEP 1 : PREPARE

The experience begins with a compelling video introduction. The video is a recruitment commercial from Agriculture for Life’s space agency enlisting help to advise on farm safety protocol on Mars!

Ag for Life’s Rural and Farm Safety escape mail game utilizes the logic of an escape room - providing an interactive, playful way to learn about safety, while challenging players to understand, identify and mitigate risks in order to keep themselves and their crew safe!

Digital components and physical manipulatives are utilized to encourage problem solving through the story telling narrative. This experience is engaging, valuable, and it’s adaptable to all grade levels. We recommend a minimum of 8 participants for the game.

IT'S OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Mission to Mars

STEP 2 : ENGAGE

Recruits will be divided into pairs and given an envelope - the content of which forms the bulk of their interactions. The envelope contains information on agricultural safety as well as manipulatives and things to do.

STEP 3 : AFFIRM

As puzzles are solved, the answers are recorded on the web portal. The facilitator guides the experience, with each correct answer progressing recruits through the learning modules.

STEP 4 : REWARD

Every good game has a rewarding conclusion, and in this case, the new recruits succeed and are given a ticket to Mars! They will join the first farming crew on the red planet and implement agricultural safety protocol.

The Perseverance Rover landed on Mars on Feb. 25, 2021.

“Students are the artists, scientists, thinkers, innovators and leaders of the future. They will be tasked with solving the problems of today, while imagining and creating a new tomorrow. Competencies are critical for equipping students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes that they will need to successfully navigate their personal journeys in learning, living and working.
