Calling
all student game designers!!! Do you believe that
games can be more than just a bit of fun? Is designing games your thing? Do you
think games can contribute to the understanding of science? If this sounds like
you, we’d love to see you at the Persuasive Games Competition!
The CHI+MED project (which involves researchers from Queen Mary University, City University, Swansea University and UCL) is inviting teams of students to design a game that will
be made freely available on errordiary.org. Prizes will be awarded
at the final showcase, including £1000 for first place, £500 for runner up and
£500 for the people’s choice. Get started by registering here for our kick-off event,
which will be taking place at UCL on Feb 1st 2014. The event is only open to students
(at any level of higher education, from any institution, and in any area) so
student ID will be required. At least one member of each team must have
attended the kick-off to take part in the competition. Please check out the details
on the website (including the sources
of inspiration) and make sure to share the link with others.
