Summer Think Tanks 2022

Learning Games Lab Sessions

The Learning Games Lab develops educational games, animations, interactives, and apps. In summer 2022 we will host three free, week-long summer sessions, two for middle school students and one for high schoolers. Students entering grades 6 through 12 during the 2022-2023 school year are invited to apply.

During the week, Games Lab consultants will play and evaluate games and other interactive experiences like VR, participate in design activities, and pitch a game to our team. They will work in teams, explore digital and tabletop games, and give developers product feedback to improve design.

Session dates and times:

Middle school sessions: Consultants entering 6th through 8th grade should sign up for one of the two middle school sessions.
