After the fun evening at the city museum and yet another ballgame (there seems to be one every night) the conference started yesterday with a plenary talk by Adam Bly from Seed Media Group. The theme of his talk was Science re-imagined. He believes in the unique potential of science to improve the state of the world. He said that we need to rethink science education and literacy, that we should pursue science literacy for everyone so that we ultimately have 7 billion scientifically literate people. And one of the ways we should do that is by designing games to teach science. Sound familiar?
The sessions have been very interesting so far. I am off to another.
Sounds like a great conference
