Opportunities for Gamers at the NMSU Learning Games Lab

Summer Think Tanks for students entering grades 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8:

The Learning Games Lab offers think tank sessions each summer. Game consultants involved in Summer Think Tank sessions have an opportunity to test and evaluate games in development at NMSU or on the market. Through such evaluations, students are exposed to possible careers, terminology and design in the game development field, while building on writing, presentation and other communication skills.

PLEASE NOTE: Applications for 2009 Summer Think Tank sessions will be available in May 2009.

Expertise Think Tank:

Experienced game consultants are specifically chosen and invited by staff to join the expert panel to analyze new games and develop media tools such as PowerPoint presentations or Podcasts on emerging trends in game play. Designed from a youth game playing perspective, these projects assist game developers in understanding game preferences of youth. This group generally meets during the school year and summer.

The expert session for the 2008 summer session is closed. Only selected experts are eligible to attend these sessions.

If you have any questions about participating in the expert session, please do not hesitate to contact Rachel Gallagher at 646-1073 or email rachelg@nmsu.edu.
