Version 2 upDatED EDitiON
The second release of this team-based simulation uses the same dramatic context of a Mount Everest climb to teach group dynamics and leadership but with an updated user experience. Students play one of five different roles on a team of hikers attempting to summit the mountain.
During the simulated six-day climb, each hiker is faced with health, weather, and resource related challenges. How well each team member shares information and makes sound decisions determines if they make it to the next camp and survive the climb.
ThE EVErEsT TEAM
Students begin the journey by logging in as the Leader, Physician, Environmentalist, Marathoner, or Photographer (or as the optional sixth role, Observer). The goals associated with these roles can often be in
conflict with one another and require compromise for the team to succeed. Students prepare for the climb by reviewing their profiles and short video presentations, including one from an actual Everest mountaineer.

Students monitor the status of their health, weather, supplies, and position on the mountain.

Conditions such as weather, physical health, supply inventory, and average hiking speed factor heavily into the students’ climbing decisions. The dashboard view provides up-to-the-minute information on the conditions as well as the status of the climb. At all times, students can drill into the dashboard for more detailed information on each category.
ChAT FEATurE
During the ascent, students can talk with each other via the chat tool. This simulates the communication conditions that real-world climbers have with walkie-talkies.
MAkiNg ThE AsCENT
Students have six days to travel through five camps on their way to the top of Everest. There is only one day of slack built into the schedule and the team must use it judiciously. At each camp, students have an opportunity to analyze current conditions and share their conclusions with the team.
After team discussion, students must input their climb decisions separately in order to advance to the next day. The ability to effectively evaluate and exchange information will determine the team’s success on the climb.
Each team member makes individual decisions relative to their role.
Students can drill down for more detailed status information.
