Video Games for STEM Education
Research Project
Since Spring 2023, I have been working on a research project team on developing a video game to teach High School Algebra. We have spent time studying education and specifically the ways video games can be used educationally. We have also spent a lot of time working on the design of our game to determine how to best use game mechanics and storytelling to immerse players in a world that will motivate them to engage with the material and gain a deep understanding of it.
We are currently working on a smaller scale prototype to help students better understand foundational concepts. More information about the prototype can be found at this website I helped put together for the project: https://u.osu.edu/fractiongame/
