Hi Everyone,
I am happy to invite each and every one of you to a free symposium happening (online and in-person) at Concordia University from January 23 – 27, 2023. Titled the Bad Game Arcade, this event will be investigating the benefits, challenges, and drawbacks of making educational games in and outside of Academia.
The week will be as hybrid as possible featuring:
1. An arcade with over 16 educational games you can play, critique, and explore.
2. Live interviews with game developers, non-profits, and scholars about their own practices of using games
3. Four late afternoon panels discussing themes of:
- Indigenous perspectives on educational games
- Games vs Gamification
- How to effectively implement games
- Edugames in Academia and beyond
You can learn more about the event and speakers here: https://www.badgamearcade.ca/
Or you can directly register to the panels here: https://www.concordia.ca/cuevents/offices/provost/fourth-space/programming/2023/01/23/bad-game-arcade.html?c=/next-gen/4th-space/calendar
While housed at Concordia’s 4th space, the talks and interviews will be streamed or available to listen to after the event. There are some really interesting people, studios, and scholars coming to talk. If you have the time and energy I would love to see you there (in-person or virtually).
Finally, if it isn’t too much of an ask, please share this with anyone you think might be interested.
Any questions let me know.
Thank you,
Scott DeJong
