Long Description:
It is becoming more common to use games in the classroom - and for good reason. Research shows games can help motivate and engage people to learn and try new things. But what about outside of the classroom? Can we use games to teach skills, to promote health, or to change hearts and minds?
The event will include a brief introduction to games and health. Then, in teams, audience members will tackle a scenario by planning, discussing, and sharing their ideas for designing successful and engaging games to promote health.
