Welcome to the GROWTH Game Project website!
The GROWTH Project aims to provide a digital game for teenagers that will help them internalise a growth mindset and develop their character, resolve and courage. With a GROWTH Mindset, students can develop their intellect and abilities, reach higher achievements and become resilient adults.
The GROWTH Game Project aims to deliver a digital game for children aged 10 to 14 that will help them internalize a growth mindset and develop perseverance, in this context often called ‘grit’.
A growth mindset, as conceived by Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck and colleagues, is the belief that a person’s capacities and talents can be improved over time.
The Principles of the GROWTH Mindset:
- Persistence; All obstacles can be overcome
- Immersion in the process; Effort leads to mastery
- Tolerating failure; Accept criticism and learn from mistakes
- Interaction; Communication and teamwork lead to success
- Challenge; Take on the challenge and learn something new
