GAMEWERKS, a week long summer youth program, expands the boundaries of the classroom and provides some learners with their first experience learning different subjects through engaging with game design. During this camp and other similar ones, we have used the activities on this site to great success. When the learners find out they are going to get to design games, there are smiles all around. When we tell them that they are going to design educational games, the smiles are a little less prominent. However, once the game design activities start, everyone is highly engaged and motivated, working on educational games during their summer vacation!
