After the loss of Classcraft<\/a>, I used an excel spreadsheet that I got from EMC2 to continue gamifying my Math and Science classes by giving students roles to play, XP to earn, and levels to achieve. It did the work and I was still able to take my students on Star Trek themed adventures as they learned 6th grade Math and Science. Then GPTs got so good at programming with mere prompting that I gave a go at creating a Classcraft-like, Star Trek, gamification site of my own. I’m pretty happy with what Claude Code built for me as I gave it a vision of what I wanted to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that site I can add assignments to give students XP, I can add badges to acknowledge student successful completion of units, and I can have a boss battle where Operations officers can protect their teammates from taking damage by using their shields, Medical officers can heal their teammates, and Engineering officers can provide dilithium crystals to their teammates so they can use their shields and medical equipment during an attack! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students can use their accounts to sign in to the starship portal to get a quick view of all their assignments to keep track of their XP and their level and officer ranks. During a boss battle, students can use their abilities right from their personal log portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how it all works: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
