Spend four days over the May long weekend diving deep into the art of creating games that are meaningful, dynamic, and transformative!  

Be part of an intimate group approaching design in a playful, hands-on, purposeful, and experimental fashion. Participants will hone their critical design analysis, and discover ways to tell new stories and invite new people to the table. This intensive will utilize hands-on design labs, playstorming, personal reflection, and group discussion to keep participants engaged and inspired. Participants will leave with new project ideas, a repertoire of game design techniques and principles, and some hands-on design experience!
