The GeniusUp project emerged from the UIB University Transition and Orientation Programme (PortUIB). The programme includes different activities to foster a culture of science and technology for prospective university students. The project aims to use ICT to provide a fun way for primary and secondary school students to better understand different disciplines they might find challenging through multimodal video games.

Main Goals

1. Using educational video games to foster a culture of science and technology amongst non-university students
2. Providing non-university students and the general public with a fun way to learn about the most renowned scientists in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, maths and computing
3. Taking full advantage of multimodal technology ensure maximum impact for users (classic card games, online apps, iTv, VR/AR, etc.)
4. Fostering a culture of science and technology through all types of ICT
5. Ensuring social and cultural inclusion for all users by developing fully accessible mobile applications based on university design principles (UDP)
6. Creating a shared space to exchange experiences between users and teachers. Using social media to facilitate communication and foster ties amongst people with shared interests, particularly in the field of science
7. Involving non-university teachers in new approaches based on advanced low-cost computing systems that enable students to immediately apply knowledge and skills learnt in the classroom, by fostering active joint participation and creation for new content.
