FAQ for parents
http://austiclabs.com/wordpress/collaborateurs/faq-for-parents
You can find some ideas and concepts which caused the creation of this camp here. Also, check the links on the sidebar for some great local and national organizations which are involved in enrichment programs, games in education, and gamefication generally. So is this a full day event, ie I can drop my kid off before work and pick them up afterwards? Nope, we assume participants will come with food for lunch. If not, Maker Works is within easy walking distance to Zingerman's Bakehouse. What sort of games...

This is a collection of ideas I probably don’t have the time for. If they appeal to you, go for it. If you want me to flesh them out or actively try my hand at building them contact me on twitter.

Games
http://austiclabs.com/wordpress/games
Board games are great because they are in the physical world, and the physical world is full of magical stuff to interact with (including those playing with you! We think that the following concepts could produce some really great games. Use the physical world phenomena like force, electricity, and flow as an integral part of the game strategy. Well, how many volts and amps do you need to run the LED? Which uses lasers as part of the game strategy. Many games are created around the gameplay, with the nar...

Crowd Trivia
http://austiclabs.com/wordpress/games/crowd-trivia
Simple, fun, interactive crowd-based game for events. See pictures and questions generated on Flickr. Learn interesting information about the crowd at an event, have players learn something new, use OCR to convert real world data into digital data, and have fun! Write 7 questions on a whiteboard. The only rules for the questions are:. 1) It cannot repeat an existing question on the board. 2) IF it is factual, it must be true (so if the question is 1 1 =? Answer must be 2). Once a player is finished, add ...

The City

NOTE: Newest posts on top followed by older ones. The meandering progression of a board game - The City. September 11, 2012. Evolution of The City board. It's interesting to see what you thought would matter (like having a randomly generated board in version 1, furthest on the left), what actually matters, and what you didn't even think about. The board being able to fold kind of took me by surprise - luckily I've got a nice and easy way to do it now! From breadboard to PCB, from janky to half decent.

Archive for October 2012. October 23, 2012 • 0. I just got back from the Meaningful Play Conference at Michigan State University, which is all about games used for good education, learning, medical uses, teaching empathy, or providing complex information in an interactive way. It was well worth attending, and I really appreciate MSU for putting it on. However, after the conference, I [.]. Why don't you simplify your life and get these posts as email updates or RSS?

Maker Challenge
http://austiclabs.com/wordpress/games/maker-challenge
Good Example Challenge: How to use recycled cell phone batteries for power storage in the developing world? Crowd-sourcing solutions to real problems (challenges) at an event. Using tables covered with paper (or big white boards), we present Faire-goers with challenges in the real world like, for example, "how to recycle plastic bottles in developing countries". Hopefully this game is more interactive and interesting than similar crowd-sourcing solutions in the on-line world. First try at Maker Challenge.
