Business Builders: Learning Through Data Storytelling
Business Builders is an innovative game designed to teach data visualization and storytelling through a unique, gamified approach. The platform offers various scenarios tailored to different skill levels. Some are designed for beginners, while others feature more advanced challenges that require complex data manipulation and analysis skills.
During gameplay, students use SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) to perform visual analyses and select the appropriate graphical representations to answer questions. Once they identify the answers, they submit their responses through the Business Builders platform. The platform evaluates responses automatically and provides instant feedback. The platform also ranks students based on the points accumulated after each question. At the end of the game, the top three players are celebrated on a victory podium.
