The Pack, developed by NYSCI, Design I/O, and the Columbia Earth Institute is an open world game where healthy ecosystems have faltered and players must befriend creatures with special functions who can be combined into algorithms to help restore the environment. NYSCI will share insights from a federally funded research project on how The Pack can build foundational computational thinking concepts and skills diverse children need to become active participants in the digital universe.
