4th Graders Test Educational Computer Games Created by High Schoolers

Following the design cycle, STEM 2 Game Design students start by researching current educational games, design software, and the third grade curriculum including teaching methods and pedagogy. Following this initial research phase they then come up with several possible designs as well as a plan which includes a timeline and the list of resources needed. Once they choose a design based on feedback they start developing their product, user testing it along their way and going through several prototype stage before finally testing their completed game with all the third graders.
