- In Spring of 2025 Dr. Heidenreich and Dr. Joy will run a study funded by a NASA grant looking at whether mathematically analyzing games actually helps students play the games better. This study will be conducted on Dr. Heidenreich's "Math of Games" class at Loras College, where the students' success will be compared against that of a control group.
