Birmingham Science Park, Aston 17^th November 2011

Playing and Creating Interactive Games can offer a huge stimulus for students and teachers in achieving learning outcomes. This conference sets out to harness this opportunity, make it accessible for all and explain why its potential is great for educators and the National economy. This conference is appropriate to all teachers and will combine information, vision, strategy and general classroom deployment. 

Game-based learning has emerged as one of the most promising areas of innovation in making STEM topics more engaging for young people. There is also a growing body of research that highlights how making games fosters the development of critical 21st Century skills including systems thinking, problem solving, design and development processes and digital media literacy.

A well-designed game is a well-designed system with a delicate balance of goals, constraints, challenges and rewards.

We do hope that you can join us for what we think will be a great day.

Kind regards

Andy Goff
Director
