Experiencing Learning through Gaming

Nowadays, there has been an increasing interest in educational games. This is based on the assumption that interactive games motivate better than traditional learning materials/environments. 

Our speaker, Ms. Jessica Sugay has co-authored various research papers that propose the development of a new generation of engaging and educationally effective learning environments. The presence of game features such as competition, fantasy, interactivity, and challenge/quest can have a significant influence, leading to a positive learning experience.

During their breakout session at the STEM Summit, the participants not only played the games themselves but experienced a glimpse of what it would be like to design these educational experiences themselves.
