How can we create community based game development for social good?
Hosted by the 4th Annual Emergent Learning Commons conference.
Presenters:
Valerie Egan of Donate Life Northwest
Brandon Bozzi of Game It Forward
Local game developers Corvus Elrod, David Galiel and Wolfgang Wozniak
Hackathons and game jams often suffer from top-down approaches led by technology rather than the needs of users and clients. We flip this by inviting NPOs and NGOs to share their missions, goals and challenges; and, one of our case studies comes from Donate Life Northwest, an organ donation non-profit seeking to update their video game Scalpel Pal.
Our panel explores ways to approach the challenges of these NPOs and NGOs through game-based design perspectives. Following the conference, we will be hosting a startup game jam, Guts for Glory, to develop games for Donate Life Northwest.
