Teaching Game Design panel

On August 8, 2017, I moderated and served as a panelist in a discussion on Teaching Game Design at PixelPop Festival.

Panel description:

Have you ever thought about teaching a game design class? What and how would you want to teach the next generation of game makers? Many of us in the game design industry are self-taught, but what place does game design have in higher education? Join four designers who have taught game design courses at local universities as we discuss some of the unique challenges and joys of teaching game design, and things we’ve learned from the process. If you’ve been considered teaching on the side, this is a great chance to learn more about it.
