Designing Games for Social Impact: A Game Plan for Educators
Games and game design can help build critical skills like collaboration, systems thinking, creative problem solving, and design thinking. This workshop will introduce educators to the Games for Change game design curriculum for fresh ideas on how to use games and game design to encourage deeper engagement with content and experiences, and empower learners as designers and agents of change. Participants will leave with an understanding of the possibilities and innovations at the intersection of games, learning, and social impact.
