The Fifth Annual Games for Change hosted by PARSONS The New School for design starts June 2, 2008:
Game developers from New York and around the country will join together with nonprofit leaders to discuss a burgeoning area of game development: digital games with a civic bent that are meant to raise awareness and educate children and the public about important social issues. A highlight of the festival is a keynote address by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, who will discuss a new interactive curriculum she is developing that will educate schoolchildren about the court system called “Our Courts“.
During Games for Change there is a new one-day workshop funded by the MacArthur Foundation that teaches non-profit professionals how to make social issue games. And to top it off, don’t miss expo night featuring Microsoft’s Environmental Games Contest Finalists from around the world!
