Students "try on" roles like diplomat, journalist, artist, and activist—building transferable skills in empathy, research, communication, and civic decision-making. Through remixed historical speeches, oral histories, play and storytelling, students navigate complexity and produce public-facing work grounded in truth, community and lived experience.
"When we give [students] language to articulate their growth, they become agents over their growth in a new way." — Kat McCritchie, a Power Play pilot teacher at Crosstown H.S., Memphis, TN
