How can board game design encourage creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration? This session highlights a college honors seminar on board game design, detailing how students analyzed game mechanics, developed original games, and refined their creations through playtesting and feedback. Youll see examples of student-designed games that came out of this class and learn what students felt they learned by playing and designing games. Join us to learn how this framework can be tailored for classrooms, corporate training, libraries, or other learning environments to foster collaboration, problem-solving, and deeper learning through games.
