The Atlantic's Second Annual Technologies in Education Forum

Tuesday, May 22, 2012 - 8:00am - 2:00pm

Dr. Repenning is a featured speaker at this event.

The Atlantic's second annual Technologies in Education Forum will focus on the new policies, technologies, and tools available to those working on the front lines to bolster American student learning and achievement, especially in the critically important STEM curricula. The program will explore what public policies are necessary to bring new technologies into classrooms, how educational video games are changing the way students learn, and how new technologies can be used to improve vital intellectual skills and prepare the near future American workforce to compete in an increasingly advanced global economy.

Gaming Tools Kids Want to Use - Talk/Panel

Dr. Alex Repenning, Computer Science Professor and CTO at AgentSheets, joined Tamara Hudgins (Girlstart), Virginia Mcarthur (Zynga), Ward Tisdale (AMD) and David Gerding (Columbia College) at the talk/panel of the "Gaming Tools Kids Want to Use" at the SXSW in Austin, March 13. Join the conversation about authorship, identity, creativity, and the tools kids use for developing serious and social games.

AgentSheets Goes to Brazil!

In conjunction with the tenth Conference on Human Computer Interaction (IHC - Simpósio de Fatores Humanos em Sistemas Computacionais) and the Fifth Latin American Conference on Human Computer Interaction (CLIHC) and in collaboration with the Federal University Fluminense (UHF), Catholic University of Rio (PUC-RIO), and CU Boulder, AgentSheets CTO Dr. Alex Repenning was invited to tour the Rio de Janiero area. He met middle school students using the new Portuguese version of AgentSheets for Scalable Game Design, met with fellow University professors and their research departments, and presented his new research in Social Computational Thinking in a Keynote Speech to the Joint Conference.

Scalable Game Design Summer Institute Press Coverage Promotes STEM Education!

The iDreams Project, funded by the National Science Foundation and directed by AgentSheets CTO Dr. Alexander Repenning, hosts a Summer Institute for training teachers to use the Scalable Game Design curriculum with AgentSheets. The teachers this year got the full red carpet treatment from the press!

Check out the coverage in the Boulder Daily Camera: "Teachers learning video game design to promote STEM education"

AgentSheets Partnership with Girlstart: from zero to Programming

In June 2010, Julie Shannon, co-director of Girlstart, attended our AgentSheets Summer Institute. She was so excited about the AgentSheets software and Scalable Game Design curriculum that she trained 8 Girlstart instructors. When Girlstart Summer Camps began in August, AgentSheets was the chosen programming environment. 175 girls built Frogger games, then progressed to “Germ Attack” games. Before the end of their week-long camp, the girls had built scientific simulations of the BP Gulf Oil Spill in AgentSheets to study the environmental impact and diffusion of oil in the Gulf region. This is exactly the kind of game-design-to-scientific-model design progression AgentSheets was built to support. (story)
