Alex and Wade share about the Learning Games Network, a series of events using games in the classroom as learning tools and Caduceus, a learning game built as part of Children's Hospital Boston's "Generation Cures" initiative.
CADUCEUS: Teaching Students About Scientific Inquiry Through Games
To demystify the complexities of pediatric medical research so kids can better understand the scientific process, researchers at Children's Hospital Boston have likened what they do in their labs and in the field to how players advance through digital games -- what's experienced and learned at one level, informs, empowers, and enables what players do in subsequent levels. Join us for a special presentation of Caduceus, the online puzzle adventure game that Children's Hospital has developed with the MIT Education Arcade, Learning Games Network, and FableVision to see how you can use this valuable tool and accompanying lesson plans and classroom activities to excite and engage students in Grades 4-8 around science and math. Caduceus and accompanying "In the Classroom" materials are free and available through Generation Cures, a kid-friendly, parent- and teacher-enabled community committed to helping Children's Hospital Boston doctors and researchers find cures for the most devastating childhood illnesses.
