Students in the Lead: Game Design for Learning Earth Science
Peg Steffen, former NOAA Ocean Service Education coordinator, discusses game design. Games are increasingly used in classrooms to help inspire curiosity, creativity, collaboration and problem-solving skills. They can introduce real-world challenges and encourage systems thinking while learning Earth science content in non-traditional ways. This presentation introduces ways to help you create a design atmosphere in your classroom, how to get started in game design, and potential game challenges that will excite and motivate your students to dig into the Earth sciences.
