People have praised play as learning for centuries but in the 21st Century games are getting a real foothold in the world of learning and even of education. Dr. Michael Carter, a veteran of both the education and game industry assembles a panel of the best new makers of games for learning in order to tease out from them what instincts and approaches have led them to develop successful learning projects.

Among others, Dr. Dylan Arena, creator of Leo's Pad to encourage smart storytelling on the iPad, Alice Brooks, whose Roominate doll houses help stimulate girls interest in design, science and engineering, and Angel Inokon, who at Animation Mentor developed innovative approaches to education, will speak how they have learned to design engaging new ways for kids to learn and how their play leads to better learning.

Come and join us in what should be an exciting, fun and interactive session and learn what next-generation learning and education might look like!
