Faculty Mission

A group of faculty members engage in a heated discussion during a mission.

Team Building

Teachers will be assigned roles on specific teams to help manage the futuristic spaceship. Communication is critical to the Mission's success.

Problem Solving

Teams will review Mission data together, discuss their findings, and decide on the best course of action to move the Mission forward.

Teachers work together during an engaging mission where they are putting their hands together in a united way as they successfully overcome a challenge.

Teacher Engagement

If teachers don't work together effectively, they will likely experience a dramatic and catastrophic end.

“Half our staff walked in a little hesitant, and within minutes they were laughing, joking, and working together like a crew on a real mission. It was the best start to the year we’ve had.”

James Ortiz

Principal

“The faculty Mission had us out of our seats, breaking out of our shells, and genuinely enjoying each other’s company. I can’t remember the last time a PD felt this fun.”

Kara McMillan

4th Grade Teacher

“If you’ve never tried a Mission.io faculty mission, do it. Your team will laugh, work together, and walk away knowing exactly why this works so well with students.”

Melissa Brooks

Instructional Coach

“I couldn’t believe how much fun we had and how quickly everyone got into it. It takes less than an hour and is the perfect way to break up a long day of PD.”

Marcus Manwaring

Principal

Join the Mission

Teachers join the Mission the same way students do—by entering a 4-digit code and stepping into the crew.

Mission Briefing

Your team receives the crisis report: volcanic eruptions are threatening a nearby planet, and citizens need to be evacuated — fast.

Choose Your Path

Review real data on multiple routes to the planet. There’s no “right” answer—just risk, reward, and group decision-making.

Navigate Together

The whole team works in sync to steer the ship along their chosen path.

Evacuate the Citizens

Once they reach the planet, crews collaborate to rescue survivors before eruptions cut off their escape.

Escape the Eruption

With time running out, everyone must coordinate to escape safely.

See Your Results

The team checks their leaderboard results to see how they stacked up against other teams around the world.

Less than an hour. Most missions run about 30–40 minutes, plus a few extra minutes to get everyone connected and chat afterward. Perfect for a faculty meeting slot.

Zero. Zip. Nada. Faculty missions are free — and so is any help you need setting them up. We want more educators to experience this technology so it can reach more students.

Nope. The mission practically runs itself. All that we recommend is to watch a short “kick it off” video and the walkthrough video on the mission page.

That’s the dream! Teachers can spin up a free account and run the same mission they just played — plus 100+ more in the library.

The sweet spot is 15–35 (it’s built for a full class), but it works with smaller or bigger groups too. Not sure? Reach out and we’ll help you tailor it to your faculty size.

To run a successful mission, you need:

An Internet-enabled device for every participant (Chromebook, iPad, etc.).
A teacher computer connected to a projector or TV (main view screen where the story plays out).
An audio system loud enough for participants to hear character dialogue.

No one needs to download anything, and the only one that needs to create an account is the person running it.

That’s it!

Absolutely. Teachers get just as hooked as students — and they walk away with a clear sense of what the experience feels like in the classroom.

It’s the easiest way to see what makes Mission.io different. Faculty missions double as team-building and hands-on training, so your teachers walk in curious and walk out confident.

Mission.io is strongest right now in K–8 STEM, where most of our content is directly tied to standards. But any grade can run missions — because every experience builds teamwork, problem-solving, and higher-order thinking skills that matter at every level. High school and beyond still get the same skill development and team-building benefits, even if the storyline isn’t tied to a specific unit of study.
