Abstract
Addressing diversity and inclusion within engineering education is vital for nurturing responsible and innovative engineers capable of tackling societal and environmental challenges. This workshop was aimed at exploring inclusive classroom strategies through playing the game All Inclusive. Drawing from real-life teacher experiences, the game acts as a vehicle for thought, i.e. a conversation starter on how to utilize a diverse student cohort to increase learning potential. The workshop was structured to ensure interactive participation, with an emphasis on small group discussions and plenary sessions to foster collective insight into inclusivity strategies. By the end of the session, participants were expected to have gained a deeper understanding of diversity's potential as a resource, develop ideas for inclusive practices and take away a novel, game-based tool for application in their educational contexts.
