Medrise Studio collaborated with Takeda to create the ExplorIAcademy, an innovative AI Academy designed to educate the pharmaceutical company's employees on the impact and application of AI, particularly generative AI, in their work. Inspired by video games, this academy combines storytelling with practical learning to make AI education engaging and effective.
Takeda needed an effective way to train its employees on AI, ensuring they understand its impact and can apply it in their daily tasks. The challenge was to create a program that caters to varying levels of AI knowledge and departmental needs while keeping the content engaging and practical.
Medrise Studio developed the ExplorIAcademy, a comprehensive training program based on a captivating narrative. The program includes personalized content, practical scenarios, and gamified elements to make learning both relevant and enjoyable.
1. Gamification
We crafted an immersive narrative adventure where participants become protagonists in a treasure hunt mystery. This storyline is based on an ancient legend about the lost island of Iyashima, known for its advanced technology. In the game, a revolutionary tool washes up on the shores of the Takedashima archipelago in 2024, reigniting a quest to discover Iyashima's lost technologies. Participants use AI tools to solve puzzles and complete quests, blending entertainment with practical AI skill development.
2. Personalization
The ExplorIAcademy adapts to each user's role and existing knowledge, offering tailored content to ensure relevant and efficient learning experiences. This customization begins with understanding each participant's knowledge level and needs through initial assessments and interviews.
3. Practice
Participants engage with practical, hands-on scenarios that simulate real-world applications of AI in healthcare. These scenarios help bridge the gap between theory and practice, enabling employees to apply AI tools and techniques in their everyday work.
