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.</p> <p>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.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://elcommons.org/oied-2012-registration-form">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
