Imagine never seeing anyone like you in the curriculum you’re taught or games you play. From inner-city to rural communities, this is a reality for too many youth. Game design can be a powerful tool in engaging underserved students in shaping their narrative. Using real-world examples - from Caribbean islands to Native American reservations - this session explores how game design can help students find new approaches to how their stories are told and amplified.

Speaker: Maria Burns Ortiz (7 Generation Games)
