Sandbox Summit - Going Mobile/Going Global: Tracking the anywhere/everywhere state of play

Colleen Macklin, Associate Professor in the School of Art, Media and Technology
at Parsons The New School for Design and Director of PETLab

(Just kidding.) This is not a talk about how much time is wasted playing games when you could be doing something else—like saving the world. (Although you can combine the two). Instead, Macklin will talk about how making games could actually be the key to world peace—or at least offer a deeper understanding of complex problems and what we can do to solve them.

The only catch? Making games is hard. At times, soul-crushingly hard. Drawing on her vast experiences, Macklin will explain how recent developments in game design curricula, software, and new tools have helped cushion the pain and complexity of game design—perhaps even making it fun. She’ll probe how the rise of indie game design is changing the way games—and game designers—are perceived culturally; and how game design is becoming not just an art form, but a one of the liberal arts of the 21st century. This state-of-play talk will link the activities of learning, play and design through a survey of exciting new ideas, projects and products, all from the perspective of an optimistic game designer, educator, and fan of the videogame form.

Game On! How Playful Learning Works

Alex Games, Ph.D., Education Design Director, Microsoft

Kodu, a game-based learning environment is designed to introduce children to
computational thinking and programming, giving them identities as game designers
within online communities. The presentation will discuss the way in which Kodu allows
young learners to use their experience as gamers to explore the key computational
principles, thinking, and activities in computer science and engineering that lie “under
the hood” of modern videogames. Alex will present examples of how this model has
been used in the context of after school programs, and the ways in which it promises
to transform the way in which children engage with STEM, by allowing them to use
games as a language that gives meaning and value to concepts that schools tend to
present in academic and decontextualized ways.

Games Are Not Good For You: So Why Are We Here?

Eric Zimmerman, Game Designer

Eric has some bones to pick with you. In what promises to be a lively session,
he takes on some of the cherished assumptions surrounding games and learning,
leveraging his well-earned reputation as designer, scholar, and professional agitator.
Expect to hear new ideas about the way learning instrumentalizes games, why
education should not be a service industry, and how happiness is not all it is cracked
up to be. Make sure to bring your own strong opinions. There will be plenty of time for
discussion and debate with the audience as well.

Trend Report: The Kids are All Right: Research from the Field

Allison Arling, Senior Director of Strategic Innovation, The Intelligence Group

Who are Gen Y and Gen Z? And what do they know that we don’t know? Using
research from their latest Cassandra report, Allison Arling will take us into the minds
and modes of the next generations. Not only will we learn who these new young
consumers are, but IG will look at current trends in context to explain why they place
value on use rather than ownership, how they’ve developed a digital Sixth Sense and
what their expectations of digital to physical integration means to anyone making
products for them. If you thought your teenage years were tough, you haven’t heard
anything yet.
