Learning Games Lab | New Mexico State University

Spring Think Tank Sessions

The Learning Games Lab develops educational games, animations, interactives, and apps. This spring we will host two sessions in-person for middle school students, each session will be two day-long. We invite students entering grades 6th, 7th and 8th during the 2022-2023 school year to apply to be Games Lab consultants. Sessions will be held at the Learning Games Lab, located in Gerald Thomas Hall.

During the two days session, Games Lab consultants will play and evaluate games and other interactive experiences like VR, participate in design activities, and give developers product feedback to improve design. Session projects will enhance consultants’ media literacy and design skills, while also exposing them to possible career paths in the industry.

Participants should sign up for a session. Consultants will only participate in one session. Session details are:
