Are educational games bad?
Join us as an Arcade takes over for a week! Organized by Concordia Public Scholar Scott DeJong, the week is jam packed with events discussing the benefits and challenges of learning games. Become a critic and play some of the over 15 games set up in the space. Learn about specific projects and processes in the live interviews with leading game developers. Listen to educators, devs, and scholars tackle some of the tough questions that come up when we talk about Educational games. Finally, you can come and talk with Scott, who will be in the space showing all this off and discussing his own work exploring how games can tackle disinformation.
