Event Details
Where’s the Passion?
Helping young people find it is a gift that lasts a lifetime
"Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion." - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.
This quest is going to build a story about you, what really matters to you, and you will clarify your sense of self as you design your pathway to a happy and successful life.
What is it?
The Passion Quest is a social game and uses a game-based learning approach to personal/career development taught through a series of life-skills elements.
It's a technology infused quest designed to uncover your passions and illuminate ways to activate the pathways to fulfilling those passions using game mechanics and strategy.
Part mobile game and part digital story. Using GPS and QR Codes, virtual rewards and some secret technologies, we've created a truly engaging experience. This quest is locative and the journey incorporates several cultural institutions including The State Library of Victoria, Federation Square, and The Immigration Museum.The 3 hour mobile learning quest and 2 hour personal pathway plan involves teams of four 13-18 year olds. The event is held in the CBD over 6 hours. There is a break for a 60 minute lunch chowdown in the middle of the quest.
The Passion Quest is a blended learning activity that promotes 21st Century Skills. Participants collect their data in the field as they progress through the game play. Data is then used to complete a pathway plan and can used to build other strategies which can assist with future personal/career development. We encourage all participants to create their own videos, audio, visuals, photos, and panoramas.
The quest has four levels to complete. With level one and two played in the field, the final two levels can be played out as a group after the event, back at home or in the classroom back at school along with supporting lesson plans and materials supplied by us. Anyone can play levels one and two free or play with our group and we'll finish with levels three and four back at headquaters.

How it works
Teams use mobile devices connected via Internet to navigate a set of clues that use QR codes, photos, videos, maps, music and augmented reality. These elements all help participants reveal their values, skills, passions and have a think about what they feel their purpose might be.
Participants learn to celebrate the fact we as individuals all have our own journey that led us to this point as part of a team on the Passion Quest.
Teams meet virtual interactive characters, collect items, and interact with media placed in various physical spaces.
We discuss what it means to know your purpose, your pathway and how to make use of life-long learning opportunities and mentors. We also learn what the key drivers are for a fullfilling work life.
To keep communication going between teams we suggest using tools like Facebook or Twitter.
All participlants leave with a Goalbook account and a pathway plan which includes a goal map, some tips on setting up and maintaining a personal learning plan and network. We can also set online learning goals for students and help track progress along with parents and other educators as an additional service.
