While schools are doing a great job in providing academic education, we noticed a huge gap in the education of human skills. Young people are not really being given opportunities to practice these skills and to make them a habit. As such, they feel quite unprepared for the larger world once they leave school. We wanted to provide them with opportunities to develop their human skills.
Through interacting with the various products in the Crackerjack Compendium, young people practice their human skills until they become a habit. This is done in a few ways. Through the f2f event, Crackerjack Challenge, they engage in a simulation where they have to activate all the different skills. Through the board games in the Crackerjack Collection, they focus on an individual human skill. We also organise workshops, called the Crackerjack Circuit, where participants gain a familiarity with these skills through a series of abstract and real-world tasks. Across all these interactive events, we do self-analysis through a psychometric test called the Crackerjack Codifier. And then we do peer-evaluation using the principles of 360-degree analysis using an edtech tool called the Crackerjack Calculator.
We organise inter-school board gaming tournaments called the Crackerjack Championship using the games from the Crackerjack Collection. This was very well received and we have been asked to make it a regular annual event for schools to include in their calendar and send teams to.
We have partnered with a foundation probono to work with underprivileged kids. Here, we went through the Crackerjack Circuit over 6 weeks. This culminated in the Crackerjack Challenge. We are now in a formal partnership agreement to make this an ongoing engagement.
Now that restrictions from the pandemic have been lifted, we will scale the f2f events and have an annual event in Singapore with global participants.
We want to introduce the Crackerjack Calculator to schools globally to help evaluate human skills.
Schools, organisations, foundations and individuals can register for the different offerings via our website - www.crackerjack.today. They can also enquire about purchasing the games from the Crackerjack Collection through this website.
