A Changemakers Media Lab initiative
CivWiz is an innovative and interactive mobile app designed to promote civic engagement, awareness, and education among the University community and beyond. This Pitt Seed-funded mobile gaming application project aims to foster and assess student civic and cultural literacy across academic disciplines and increase student access to and engagement in civic learning beyond traditional civic learning mediums. CivWiz aims to address the critical need for the University, and higher education at large, to prioritize campus environments that integrate civic learning into students’ educational experiences across all academic disciplines to equip them to address a spectrum of societal challenges facing them in an increasingly polarized sociopolitical and sociocultural climate (Matto, McCartney, Bennion, & Simpson, 2017).
