The National Institute of Standards and Technologys Standards Coordination Office offers training to government agencies on standards, conformity assessment and related topics. One such course, Setting Standards: A Simulation Exercise in Strategy and Cooperation in Standardization Processes, features a participatory simulation that provides hands-on experience in what it is like to sit at the standards development table. NIST engaged established game-developer United Knowledge to provide this training in response to the growing demand for interactive, realistic and exciting learning environments for standards education.
