Level Up Game Design

Come learn about game design and dream up new games!
Discover the world of game design through a panel with game designers and hands-on activities with other high schoolers and professionals with a passion for play.
Join a panel of innovative game designers who will share insights on creating engaging play experiences. After a conversation and time for a Q&A, participants will collaborate in a creative environment to bring their ideas to life around the principles of human-centered design.
The workshop will be facilitated by Scot Osterweil, a research scientist and creative consultant to the Education Arcade and Game Lab at MIT, and designer of award-winning games.

Primarily high schoolers and their teachers, but all are welcome to join!

Snacks will be provided, and students will get to work with game designers and like-minded peers. High Schoolers working with Innovators for Purpose will be demoing their game, “Uncover,” and looking for feedback from you!

This workshop belongs to MAD’s Power of Design series, dedicated this year to Learning Discovery, and a part of Cambridge Science Festival.
