Many research labs approach us asking, "How can we make a game with Field Day?" Welcome to GameWorks. By the end of this event, you will have a refined concept pitch and an invitation to apply to a fully funded game project.
We believe that games can change the world! Games have the capacity to go deep with the most complex topics in a playful and engaging way. Games are a great way for research labs to do public outreach and to fulfill their broader impacts mission for their grant. Field Day games are played 1.5 million times annually and are available for free.
GameWorks is a collaboration between Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and the University of Wisconsin organized at WCER by Field Day Lab. This event brought together a select group of researchers from the UW-Madison along with educators from around the state of Wisconsin who want to use learning games for broader impacts and outreach.
Our current theme is Life Science Research Practices. We are looking for researchers who will work alongside our team and some expert Wisconsin educators to develop concepts that have a chance to become full games.
