Computers for Youth and Games2Train team up on Slinkybomb

Computers for Youth has teamed up with Games2Train (the company founded by Hidden Agenda advisor Marc Prensky) to work with middle school students and teachers to test Slinkybomb. In a three phase project, students and teachers will make recommendations to improve the game so that it reaches its full educational (and entertainment) potential. Next the Games2Train team will rework the game according to the recommendations. Finally, Computers for Youth will take back the new and improved Slinkybomb and run qualitative and quantitative tests so that the Liemandt Foundation will know for sure if the Hidden Agenda games truly can effectively teach school subjects. This project is taking the place of a 2008 Hidden Agenda contest, but it will be back soon enough. Stay tuned for the Slinkybomb results!
