Meet The Inventor

Dana Jewel Harris

Hi! My name is Dana Jewel Harris.  I believe that STEAM innovation requires you to constantly define, measure, build and name the skills you have and/or need in order to create the opportunities you desire.   Throughout my entire life, I have used my skills to serve my family, my community and my country in sooooo many different ways! My STEAM profession is in strategic planning so a lot of times, the projects I work on are for things that don’t quite exist yet.  Because of this, I am required to have a ton of STEAM skills that include a great sense of humor, an awesome imagination, and the ability to add significant value to any team or project I work on.  As a result, I am constantly introduced to amazing opportunities and rewarded with many life-changing experiences.   I get asked quite a bit how I have been able to work on so many amazing projects, so I thought it would be pretty cool to turn my job into a card game curriculum.  Now I can teach youth and young adults all over the world how I use my STEAM skills to do all that I have done and will do in the future….so they can do it too!!!   What’s The Point? When faced with a challenge, Community On Demand helps you remember the skills you have or identify the skills you need in order to thoroughly think through any situation and physically map out a strategic plan of action to solve it.

Why Is It A Game? Community On Demand was created by turning all of the applied learning activities and best practices from my Atwood Community Gardens & Urban Farm Park (2010 ~ 2014, Atlanta, GA) into a business-in-a-box card game.   Through Atwood, I was able to strengthen the local economy by serving 1,500 visitors a year, launching a weekly farmers’ market to address local health disparities, supporting several home-based businesses and local growers as market vendors, and creating a national summer leadership training program for youth, young adults and volunteers.  Unfortunately, the land owners displaced me and forced me to shutter Atwood — losing access to the physical farm land and training site.  However, thanks to my STEAM skills, I am now able to offer the same Atwood training experiences digitally as the Community On Demand card game curriculum. #fromlemonstolemonade

The Employability Skills Framework

The Crucial Component for College & Career Readiness

[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner gap=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Why Employability Skills?

Successful careers are built on solid personal and interpersonal skills. Defining, measuring, and building these skills— even naming them— can be challenging. The U.S. Department of Labor created The Employability Skills Framework which breaks down employability skills into three major categories:

1. Applied Knowledge – critical thinking skills and applied academic skills
2. Workplace Skills – communication skills, systems thinking, resource management, information use, and technology use
3. Effective Relationships – interpersonal skills and personal qualities

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1622659877999{margin-right: 30px !important;margin-left: 30px !important;}”]

The Employability Skills Framework was developed as part of the Support for States Employability Standards in Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Adult Education project, an initiative of the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education, U.S. Department of Education. Framework development was guided by CTE, adult education, workforce development and business organizations, and twelve federal agencies.

 

The Employability Skills Framework advances a unifying set of skills that cuts across the workforce development and education sectors based on an inventory of existing employability skills standards and assessments.

The Employability Skills Framework

The One-Stop Resource For Employability Skills Assessment

Community On Demand is a STEAM Education & Life Skills Development card game that uses game-based learning and strategic planning exercises to produce employable candidates with high-demand employability skills. Community On Demand balances real life subject matter with serious game play to help learners 1) produce defined learning outcomes and 2) transform their knowledge, capabilities, interests, STEAM skills and achievements into digital micro-credentials, service-learning projects, career-building opportunities and social enterprises.

 

When you add Community On Demand game-based learning tools to the Employability Skills framework, Community On Demand can be played four ways:

 

• It can be used by individuals to play on their own
• It can be used by educators/trainers as a creative supplement for their existing programs or activities
• It can be used by business owners to redevelop their job descriptions, update their business plans, train new employees or re-train current employees
• Learners, educators/trainers and business owners can join our Youth Chamber of Commerce and play the game with us through our Gamers & Mixers esports league.

As a result, learners, educators, trainers and businesses are able to measure nine (9) key areas of growth:

1. Applied Academic Skills – reading, writing, math and scientific principles.
2. Critical Thinking Skills – creativity, decision making, problem solving, reasoning, planning and organization
3. Interpersonal Skills – teamwork, customer service, leadership, negotiations, and cultural awareness
4. Personal Qualities – growth through responsibility, self discipline, flexibility, adaptability, a willingness to learn, integrity, professionalism, taking initiative and having a positive attitude
5. Resource Management – management of time, money, resource and personnel
6. Information Use – effectiveness in locating, organizing , using, analyzing and communicating information
7. Communication – verbal, listening, comprehension, writing and observation skills
8. Systems Thinking – understanding, monitoring, improving and uses of systems
9. Technology – understanding and using technology

Employability Skills Framework

Successful careers are built on solid personal and interpersonal skills. Defining, measuring, and building these skills— even naming them— can be challenging. In an effort to leverage and connect the efforts of policy makers, educators, and employers, the U.S. Department of Education compiled the Employability Skills Framework and developed related tools, media and resources.

Community On Demand Digital Economy

Community On Demand is fueled by an e-commerce and loyalty rewards program that offers players and community stakeholders in-game currencies to buy, trade and purchase products and services throughout the Community On Demand digital economy.

JEM Teams earn in-game currencies by using their employability skills to build their networks and resources as they addresss socio-economic conditions that negatively impact the communities where they live, work, learn, play and travel. By strengthening their employability skills, they are able to increase the contribution values of their collective impact through work-based learning initiatives and community involvement growth strategies.  As a result, they enjoy the benefits that come from maximizing engagement, creating inter-generational wealth systems, and building sustainable, purpose-built communities.
