In the early nineties, traditional educational games such as Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego and Oregon Trail pioneered the way for learning to be fun (and taught us that you can only carry 200 pounds of meat back to your wagon). Since then, the educational games market has not borne the same success as today’s major game franchises.
However, it is possible for ‘traditional’ games not specifically designed to be educational to have curricular value. We will show how we have used a wide range of games and game concepts to provide a familiar context for students to engage with new material and principles of Computer Science. In addition, we will discuss how game professionals can find a place for their games in the classroom.

An evening with Kris and Scott, our crowd pleasing panel from PAX and PAX east is being taken up a notch. Special guests, musical acts, and a swanky venue.
Rather than spend three hours letting a thousand PAX attendees get us drunk on stage with various forms of alcohol or alcoholic tainted foodstuffs *cough*vodkawhippedcream*cough*, Kris and I wanted to do something classier. A late night talk show with guests from the world of video games, music, comics and more. The show is being produced by Liz Smith of Dammit Liz productions. Liz has worked tirelessly to help produce w00tstock, the JoCo Cruises and now the Kris and Scott Scott and Kris show Live.

Ten thousand people cannot fit at one desk, but a webcam can. Live streams provide viewers unprecedented access to the beating heart of game development, at studios around the world. See the future of games, and give it a piece of your mind! (Kappa)
