Introducing the ExoTerra Imagination Lab
ExoTerra is an online collaborative research role-playing game (RPG) community, in which students from all disciplines, from physics to literature, pool their expertise to design a new world. Participating students play the crew of a space colony ship traveling from Earth to a newly-terraformed exoplanet, and must work together to design the new world they will create: its ocean biosphere, its capital city, its educational system, its power grid, its laws. Over the three quarters of the 2020/21 school year, students will explore the new solar system, unlock its mysteries, and debate and decide the foundations of their new civilization. All students at the university can participate as an extracurricular, but each quarter a selection of courses in many fields (Social Sciences, Humanities, Arts, STEM) will offer ExoTerra as an integrated course component, guiding the class through researching and producing a design for the new world as part of the class itself.
After a Century of Travel, Awakening to a New Sun…
A terraforming mission, funded by UNESTI (the United Nations Exploration, Settlement, and Terraforming Initiative), launched in the year 2301, bound for a star 65 light years away. Now, join us as we awaken in 2412 and get a first glimpse of our new home…
Join Us for a First Glimpse of Our New Solar System...
Some parts will be designed by students joining as an extracurricular.
Some decisions about the new world will be made by everyone together.
Some parts of the new world will be designed within specific courses.
The Voyage is almost over, but the Project is just beginning…
