Workshop | How to develop an educational game? | 11 October

Workshop | How to develop an educational game? | 11 October 11 October 2022 15:00 till 17:00 - Location: Teaching Lab - By: GameLab | Add to my calendar About this workshop Designing a serious game can be tricky, especially if you want to develop an educational game. During this 2 hour, hands-on workshop, we will explore a method often used by serious game designers, the Triadic Game Design method. Casper Hartevelt developed the Triadic Game Design method. It is a design method where you balance Reality, Meaning and Play carefully. When you fail to balance the three aspects of serious game design, you end with a product that will not achieve your goals. Your game might become too disconnected from your theme or subject. It might not have a clear goal or outcome or simply not be fun. As you do with games, we will learn how to use this method by trying it, doing it, and exploring it. In groups, you will develop a concept based on a reality (or theme) to provide a particular meaning (or outcome) and, in the end, design the play aspect (a game). The experienced game designers of the Gamelab will guide you through the process and can answer your questions. If you have a particular subject or theme you want to explore, please let us know during sign-up so we can include it. Similarly, if you have questions about designing games for education, including particular meanings, or reaching specific outcomes, let us know! Sign up here

TU Delft jointly wins XPRIZE Rainforest drone competition in Brazil

TU Delft jointly wins in the XPRIZE Rainforest competition in the Amazon, Brazil Imagine using rapid and autonomous robot technology for research into the green and humid lungs of our planet; our global rainforests. Drones that autonomously deploy eDNA samplers and canopy rafts uncover the rich biodiversity of these complex ecosystems while revealing the effects of human activity on nature and climate change. On November 15, 2024, after five years of intensive research and competition, the ETHBiodivX team, which included TU Delft Aerospace researchers Salua Hamaza and Georg Strunck, achieved an outstanding milestone: winning the XPRIZE Rainforest Bonus Prize for outstanding effort in co-developing inclusive technology for nature conservation. The goal: create automated technology and methods to gain near real-time insights about biodiversity – providing necessary data that can inform conservation action and policy, support sustainable bioeconomies, and empower Indigenous Peoples and local communities who are the primary protectors and knowledge holders of the planet’s tropical rainforests. The ETHBiodivX team, made of experts in Robotics, eDNA, and Data Insights, is tackling the massive challenge of automating and streamlining the way we monitor ecosystems. Leading the Robotics division, a collaboration between TU Delft’s Prof. Salua Hamaza, ETH Zurich’s Prof. Stefano Mintchev and Aarhus University’s Profs. Claus Melvad and Toke Thomas Høye, is developing cutting-edge robotic solutions to gather ecology and biology data autonomously. “We faced the immense challenge of deploying robots in the wild -- and not just any outdoor environment but one of the most demanding and uncharted: the wet rainforests. This required extraordinary efforts to ensure robustness and reliability, pushing the boundaries of what the hardware could achieve for autonomous data collection of images, sounds, and eDNA, in the Amazon” says prof. Hamaza. “Ultimately, this technology will be available to Indigenous communities as a tool to better understand the forest's ongoing changes in biodiversity, which provide essential resources as food and shelter to the locals.” . . . .
