Abstract

The article describes the engineering communication strategy game "Fairytale city, dream city", developed by the CONSTRUCTORIUM scientific research laboratory of engineering and polytechnic education at Omsk State Pedagogical University. It provides a general overview of the game, including its target audience, required equipment, task content, implementation procedure, and evaluation criteria. A brief description of the main stages of the game (introduction to the game, solving the design problem, and evaluating the design) is provided. The main challenges encountered by participants during the task are described. A practical implementation of the developed game is presented, involving participants with and without experience in engineering education. The results of the pilot test demonstrated that the engineering communication strategy game "Fairytale city, dream city" is universal, engaging, and can be used as a team-building game, requiring little financial or time investment in preparation and implementation.
