Inhoud

With a growing interest in the world for "Games to Grow", "Edugames" and other initiatives, the field of Serious Gaming is growing, and there is a need for well thought out games which teach technical and critical thinking skills developed by professionals. This Elective will dive into how "Learning Mechanics" translate to "Game Mechanics" and how games can be designed with the purpose of helping others. Students on the elective will work in collaboration, possibly with other educational programmes or with initiatives from the work field, to tackle real-world issues using games as a platform.
