8:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Keynote Speaker: Jason Morningstar
8:00 AM Keynote: Iterative, Cheap and Effective: Low-Cost Analog Simulation for Teaching and Learning
In this talk, Jason will discuss the tension between fidelity and friction and how to use simple, inexpensive tools to approach problems that don't require complex simulation. Based on years of experience putting playfulness and experience design into teaching and learning, Jason's message is a simple one - analog games offer iterative, cost-effective, and functional ways to engage students and achieve objectives.
12:15 PM Workshop: Putting Low-Cost Analog Simulation to the Test: Let's Move Some Sewage
Building on his keynote, Jason and a few volunteers will send you on an exciting journey of discovery using pencils, paper, and millions of gallons of raw sewage. After you've hosed off, we'll break into smaller groups to strategize ways to apply what we've seen and experienced.
