SUMMARY:Designing Games to affect Social Change
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the MIT Game Lab \nFacilitated by Mack Cameron of MegaGames United and Sam Liberty from the Engagement Lab at Emerson College: \nDue to the current events\, many gamers have been asking how they can be more involved in affecting positive change in our new political climate. You can volunteer for worthy causes\, you can contact your representatives\, and you can design a game. \nGames are unique mediums for story-telling. We love them because they are immersive and because they are interactive. Those same qualities allow them to have potent qualities in delivering a social message. \nWe’ll present some games that have been successful in this regard\, talk about common pitfalls serious game designers encounter\, start the ball rolling on having you design your own game to make a statement and have a positive impact on your society. \nSam Liberty is co-founder of Extra Ludic\, a consultancy focussed on serious games for real-world impact\, and Senior Game Designer at the Engagement Lab at Emerson College. He teaches playful design and game criticism and theory at Northeastern University. \nMackenzie Cameron is the founder of MegaGames United\, an organization committed to creating large scale gaming experiences\, and a game developer at Artana. He facilitates play and design with a variety of events in and around Boston. \n \n \nOnline event registration for Designing Games to affect Social Change powered by Eventbrite\n\n
