Games in Education Symposium
Games in Education started as a multi-day symposium which focuses on the topic of using video games to supplement and inspire in-classroom education. Participants span early childhood through post secondary educators in New York’s Capital District and surrounding regions who are interested in finding ways to use video games and related technology to enrich and inspire interest by students in core curriculum topics. The symposium has run annually since 2007 and is free for educators to attend. In 2014, Games in Education added a free Teen Game Workshop to provide an opportunity for high school students to engage in game development. In 2015, Games in Education officially incorporated as a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization.
