Amped Up 1.0

Amped Up, developed by National Electrotechnical Training (NET), offers an engaging introduction to the tasks and skills relevant to electricians. The simulation is tailored for both complete beginners and experienced industry practitioners, featuring two distinct levels of engagement.

For novices, the game presents a sequence of straightforward assignments aimed at restoring electrical circuits, with prompts and on-screen guidance to support learning at each step. Electrical apprentices can utilize the platform to reinforce essential competencies such as safe isolation procedures, use of protective devices, understanding Ohm’s law, and conducting R1 + R2 testing.

While the game provides an interactive experience, it is important to note that it is primarily for entertainment and does not serve as an exact simulation of real-world electrical installation techniques. Tasks have been adapted for gameplay purposes to create an enjoyable learning environment.

Participants can compare their performances through leaderboards and gauge their progress relative to peers.
