One of the gaming design group’s lead instructors at a New Berlin technology camp for youth was the aptly named Alex Games, a former high school teacher and software engineer. Now he’s researching the educational application of video design curriculum at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
“This is more than playing games,” said Games, who explained that students had to work on their own, then team up and decide how to combine their products to make a more effective and complex game. Students also had to write critiques.
