| Title | Boston Event: Playing the Fall of the Berlin Wall: Games and Social Change |
| Body | From http://www.goethe.de/ins/us/bos/ver/en13492911v.htm?code=bos1411 Playing the Fall of the Berlin Wall: Games and Social Change This semester, students at MIT’s Education Arcade have created games on the theme of the Berlin Wall. The finished games will be presented at the Goethe-Institut Boston as videos and can also be played by the audience. Using Minecraft as a game design tool, the students have researched the German border and created a playful experience around a serious subject, remembering the fall of the Wall 25 years ago at the same time. Scot Osterweil, Research Director, Comparative Media Studies, who is teaching the MIT class will introduce the concept of using games as a collaborative, social experience where students can explore how the world works and discover important scientific concepts. All players welcome. For more details go to http://www.goethe.de/ins/us/bos/ver/en13492911v.htm?code=bos1411 |
