CUNY Games Conference 5.0: Call for Proposals

CALL FOR POSTERS AND GAMES!

The CUNY Games Network of the City University of New York is excited to announce The CUNY Games Conference 5.0, to be held on January 18, 2019, at the Borough of Manhattan Community College in New York City (see flyers below).

This year, the CUNY Games Conference distills its best cutting-edge interactive presentations into a one-day event to promote and discuss game-based pedagogies in higher education, focusing particularly on non-digital learning activities that faculty can use in the classroom every day. The conference will include workshops lead by CUNY Games Organizers on how to modify existing games for the classroom, how to incorporate elements of play into simulations and critical thinking activities, as well as poster sessions, play testing, and game play. For the digitally minded, we will also offer a workshop in creating computer games in Unity.

We are calling all faculty and graduate students who play or design games/playful interactive activities for your classes to participate in one of our game demo and poster sessions! (Both CUNY and non-CUNY participation is welcome.)

Please let us know by November 10th if you would like to contribute a poster or game demo: CUNY Games Festival: Call for Proposals
