Was wonderful seeing everyone at last night’s Troy Night Out game studio popup! Lots of kids, parents, and community members trying out games and talking with developers from the four other studios who joined us. A great way to end the sidewalk popup season! :)

Another game, perfect for older students, on the topic of va**ng and smoking prevention. Funded by CVS and led by Yale's play2PREVENT Lab at the Yale Center for Health & Learning Games, this game is set in a school, and has the students build their friendships, navigate peer pressure situations, and most importantly learn some facts about the health implications of va**ng. Was excited end of last year to hear that the Yale pilot last year showed great results for players' learning. Free on iTunes and Google Play, plus a html version for teachers to use with classes.

Thinking of the parents home with students today, and educators embarking on teaching online. We have gotten to work with some great organizations on some games that could be useful resources and we thought we would mention a few of them here.

Starting with Cards Aginst Calamity - an online game and baord game, featuring role playing as a mayor (in the online version) or group of ctizens (in the board game version) making decisions that affect their community's resilience in the face of calamity. Developed with coastal communities in mind (NOAA funded, project led by Environmental Law Institute) but a lot of analogies to today.

Can you survive the storm?
