The Liemandt Foundation, a non-profit foundation focused on promoting technology-enabled education, is hosting a college student video game development contest to challenge students to build entertaining games that "secretly" teach middle school subjects. Games will be judged in May for a chance at the grand prize of $25,000. Advising the contest are Richard Garriott and Marc Prensky. They hope the contest will enable college students to understand the importance and potential of "stealth education." The final judging of the games is based on 70% entertainment and 30% educational value because, as program director Lauren Davis says, "Children will only learn from the games they want to play."
For more information on the contest go to the Hidden Agenda website.
