Real-world simulations can be an incredible way to engage and teach children. We'll walk through how you can develop simulations that leave lasting impressions on your students.
Description:
Whether you're teaching elementary school students or college students, simulations can be an incredible way to engage and teach children. And creating a real-world simulation doesn't require years of coding experience or tons of coordination - they can be done with some paper and a bit of planning. We'll walk through how you can develop simulations that leave lasting impressions on your students with minimal resources and get you started on building your own! Instructors will be Dave Tomczyk, Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship and Game Design, and Tejas Kumar, Software Engineer at Vanessa Research and Game Designer for Quinnipiac University Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
Learn how to add game elements to most any topic to increase learning. You will also work on developing/gamifying one topic of your choice with mentor feedback.
Description:
If you teach or have work projects that you'd like to gamify (either adding game elements to it or turning it outright into a game), this is the session for you! We'll be walking through how to add game elements to most any topic to add a bit (or a lot!) of fun and to increase learning. As part of this session, you'll also work on developing/gamifying one topic of your choice so you have something right as you come out! Instructors are Dave Tomczyk, Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship and Game Design, and Tejas Kumar, Software Engineer at Vanessa Research and Game Developer for Quinnipiac University's Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
