We offer unique, simulation-driven academic courses for undergraduate and graduate students across Policy, Humanities & Social Sciences, Engineering & Technology, Business & Entrepreneurship, Art, Architecture, and Design.
Every course integrates tactile tabletop models, participatory simulations, and structured systems debriefs.
An interdisciplinary course empowering future leaders to navigate ecological dilemmas, resource metabolism, and green transition trade-offs through research-backed tabletop simulations.
Move beyond dry disaster textbooks. Learners simulate real-world crisis conditions — coordinating flood defenses, earthquake evacuations, and emergency resource allocation under fog-of-war conditions.
A hands-on systems course deconstructing the connected world. Students explore edge intelligence, networked telemetry protocols, and critical infrastructure cybersecurity using gamified sandboxes.
Explore the operational and spatial realities of 21st-century cities. Using City Runners and Prospera, students step into the shoes of commissioners, town planners, and citizen collectives.

All courses are anchored by Dr. Balaji Kalluri, former faculty at FLAME University and alumnus of National University of Singapore and DTU Denmark. His research in serious games is recognized globally by Games for Change (USA), UNESCO MGIEP, and the Urban Studies Foundation (UK).
Over the past years, students and learners under Dr. Kalluri's guidance have successfully designed and rapid-prototyped several gamified simulation tools across complex socio-technical frontiers.
Courses are accompanied by distinguished guest instructors, practitioners, and researchers from leading domestic and global institutions:
Rather than writing passive term papers, learners across our course cohorts translate complex systemic phenomena into playable, balanced tabletop simulation tools.
