The Kobayashi Maru is a training simulation in the Star Trek series notable for its defining characteristic as a no-win scenario with no “correct” resolution, and where the solution actually involves redefining the problem. We designed a Board Meeting simulation (for an experiential course in non-profit governance), which places students in a high-stakes decision-making scenario that is closely modeled on real events, and for which there is no clear resolution. When students realize their dilemma, emotional investment increases and it creates an authentic learning experience with high psychological fidelity. We will replicate the simulation with participants to showcase the process.
