Workshop

Developing impactful games and simulations

Cementing learning through tailored hands-on exercises
OVERVIEW
This workshop affords participants a sandbox to conceive and develop bespoke exercises to complement any learning program. Participants can take these games (and others) back to provide critical hands-on experience to their own organizations that target specific topics, roles, skills or audiences. Practice and hands-on experience can take difficult skills and challenging topics and make them more easily adoptable.
