Overview

Overview

iCivics is a nonprofit civic-education curriculum and game platform. Students use games, simulations, readings, lesson plans, primary sources, and discussions to learn how institutions and civic processes work. A simulation or source activity supports a teacher-selected civic question. Teachers connect student decisions, arguments, and discussion with local learning goals, with grading determined through the classroom process.
