Answer Campus: an Interdisciplinary Course in Equity, Inclusion, and Game Development

 

Summary

Funded by NERDLab, this team met regularly as an extracurricular organization and created the first iteration of Answer Campus, a demo version of a game that is currently available on the Steam gaming platform. U-LINK will help this team further develop the game into a robust, beta version by institutionalizing their workflow in an interdisciplinary team-taught class led by Professors Bolina, Ewing, and Lopez. The long-term aim is to develop Answer Campus into a fully formed game that can be used in student onboarding; as part of wider university efforts at diversity, equity, and inclusion; and that can be licensed to other universities with similar aims.
