Hands on serious games

Serious games are a mean of sharing scientific contents in a new way. As gaming gets the player emotionally and personally involved, serious games have been shown to enhance the efficiency of a given message. But designing one implies to reach the perfect balance between a good gameplay and the scientific content to be shared. A great deal of attention (and budget) must be given to technical and playful aspects of the game as the gamers are more and more hard to please on quality. As B.Hawkins puts it “teenagers can smell educational game miles away”. Come to a speed dating experience with serious-game designers, a scientist working on the instructional effectiveness of video games and a project manager of a serious game data base. And get your hands on designing an innovative game.
