How It Works

SPACE (Student Passport And Character Education) launches students as Astros, young heroes tasked with restoring harmony to planets thrown off balance. Every day, Astros track their behavior progress using colorful game board maps tucked inside their Suitcase Portal. As they demonstrate key behaviors, they move along the path, unlock Side Missions, earn badges, and collect Level Certificates on their way to becoming champions of the cosmos.

Check In Check Out (CICO)

SPACE gamifies the evidence-based Check-In Check-Out (CICO) intervention, which already shows an 80% success rate in supporting students with behavior goals. By embedding this system into a full narrative experience, students are more motivated, more consistent, and more connected to their growth.

The SPACE Game is built around 4 Core Components, with Check-In and Check-Out forming the foundation of daily student engagement:

Side Mission Cards (SMCs) are bonus behavior challenges designed to help students show prosocial skills, especially on tough days. Each card is tied to one of five core values included in the Starter Pack:

Whether it's helping a classmate, taking a mindful breath, or naming an emotion, every Side Mission gives students a practical way to grow. When they complete a card, they earn a badge and gain an alternate way to move forward on their map, even if their day didn't go as planned.
