1. Create an account in GameBus

For the sake of simplicity, it is strongly encouraged to sign up with one of your social media accounts (Google or Facebook). We will then read your identity information to initialise your GameBus account automatically. You can then move to Step 2. Note that we will never post Google or Facebook messages on your behalf, unless you instruct us explicitly to do so.

In the following, we explain the more tedious process of creating a GameBus account from scratch. Select the option CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT then continue with SIGN UP. When creating a new account you have to fill in your fist name, last name, email address and create a password. You will receive a confirmation email in which you have to press the activiation link to activate your account.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After signing up, you can answer three questions to help us understand better which type of person you are. Finally, you can use the second button to join the STAF17 team (covered further in the next step).

 

2. Join the STAF17 Supporters Team

To join a team you have to go the Teams page in the app by selecting Teams in the main menu of the app.

 

 

 

 

Then, navigate to the tab FIND TEAMS. Then, enter STAF17 as the team to search for and press the magnification glass icon. When you have found the team named “STAF17 Supporters” team, please select the JOIN button at the right of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, you can navigate back to your teams and access the overall GameBus menu. We recommend you to follow the leaderboard in the Challenges view. Your request to join the team for STAF17 should be approved within a few minutes.

3. Connect your Twitter account to GameBus

Please go to the GameBus section Settings>Apps, scroll down to the Twitter entry and then press Connect and Allow. You may also be prompted to authenticate and give authorization within Twitter too.

 

 

 

4. Create Twitter content

You can use the Twitter website or any compatible client to create messages related to STAF17.  If you use any of #ICGT17, #ICMT17, #TAP17, #ECMFA17, #TTC17 or #STAF17 as the first hashtag of your messages then you will automatically score points on the GameBus STAF17 challenge.

5. Check Your Progress

Monitor your progress via the leaderboard in the Challenges>Joined>Active view of GameBus. Via the Activities view, you can also find copies of your Twitter posts to double-check when that you are receiving points. Your participation to the challenge will be represented by an orange bar and the top three leaders will be represented by a green bullet at the left of their bar.

Alea iacta est!

GameBus Co- creation workshop with Industria’s Company Tour 2015

 

On June 4th the second year students of Study Association Industria will depart to Hamburg for a weekend long company tour. They are accompanied by Pieter Van Gorp and will discover more about co-creation. What better introduction to this topic than a masterclass about GameBus & co-creation. Student got the opportunity to experience co-creation with a hands-on workshop in challenge design.

On the evening of May 11th this activity was held in Paviljoen at the TU/e. The masterclass was kicked off by Paul Brouwers with a 10 minute introduction to both GameBus and what co-creation is all about. After this Carolina Gomez Naranjo introduced the workshop where the students would actively participate in co-creation. Using sheets of paper they would define a specific challenge with a clear goal, purpose and rewards and give it a catchy name. After this the conditions of this challenge had to be crafted with little icons which could be glued to the paper.

Every group had to choose their winning idea and present it in a 2 minute pitch to the entire group. Some of our top challenges included:

Brainletics, where whilst exercising questions would come into your earplugs and you get points for both the exercise and your cognitive skills;

A Day in the Park, where families can score points if they have a picnic at a park, forest or similar and have a walk after;

Green Wheels, where the goal is to use the car as little as possible, except when this is used to support an elderly to go to his/her location.

After all pitches feedback was collected from all attendees. Even though many of the participants were not familiar to the idea of Co-creation after a while everyone started to enjoy the creative process. Overall participants left with a good feeling about what co-creation and got a deeper understanding of the advantages the process gives to the productive process.
