Spreading Serious Game Design: Global Kids' Playing For Keeps Capacity Building Program
2:45 - 3:45

This panel will explore how Global Kids' successful serious game design program, originally created for an afterschool context, was redesigned to scale and spread to libraries, public housing computer labs, in-school tech clubs, and public school classrooms. Representatives from each site will report on their experiences and details will be shared about the professional development program developed to support their implementations. Results from an independent evaluation will be shared and the final work produced by participating youth will be shown.
