Serious Games

Project-based learning is core to our programs, and one avenue students pursue is creating serious games - games designed primarily for education, health, policy making, or organizational change. Serious games leverage interactivity and engagement as conduits for simulating real-life scenarios, decision-making, and consequences. Our open-ended curriculum and access to expert faculty empower student teams to bring their ideas for innovative serious games to life. Past student projects have produced games aiming to increase Safety behaviors among workers, others aimed to raise awareness about cyber security threats among other applications. With the right mindset and skillset, our graduates are prepared to keep pushing boundaries on how interactive media can educate and effect change across industries.
