I've written plenty about teachers who are using video game design to teach their students about STEM. Tomorrow from 4:15-5:15 p.m. EST, representatives from Changing the Game, the Cooney Center, Get Game Smart, PBS Kids, and more will be joining me to talk about youth game design, game-based learning, and the National STEM Video Game Challenge.
