What is motivating your students? Adopting a fun-first design approach in your classroom will see your students engage with material in new and curious ways, develop intrinsic motivation to learn, and interact and collaborate with each other to develop 21st-century skills on top of academic mastery.
In this session, Vince Siu and Logan Stratman of Press Start Academy, a Hong Kong-based startup that designs award-winning educational games and game-based curriculums, will explore the benefits and challenges of conducting game-based learning in inquiry-based classrooms. You will find exciting connections between games and learning, see real examples of game and curriculum design used around the world, and walk away with practical tips on how to boost student agency in your own classroom.
