67games: calling all games scholars
Hi AoIR people, Sitting at IR16 as we speak, saddened that this wonderful conference will soon come to a close :( I have spoken to a number of scholars about a project myself and a colleague are launching next year, and was told it would be good to cast it out to the wider networks: Against a backdrop of very unequal educational system in South Africa, we have undertaken a (wildly amibitious) project called 67games. Based on the 67-minutes initiative for Mandela Day, we have vowed to host collaborative international game jams to produce 67 educational games which will be displayed on arcade machines produced from recyclables and e-waste in under-resourced communities. We are looking for anyone who is keen to help in any capacity. Please see 67games.org for more information. Recent student protests have once again underlined the urgency for alternative spaces for participation. Please spread this to anyone you might think would be interested - we need all the help we can get! Thanks! And thank you for an incredible conference - hopefully see you all again soon, Anja *www.nannaventer.co.za <http://www.nannaventer.co.za> | www.hackingdesign.org <http://www.anjaresearchblog.wordpress.com>+27 84 929 4647 <%2B27%2084%20929%204647> | @nannaventer*
