Student Game Serious Game Gold winner

The spring 2017 semester project team Tiny created an iPad app “Angle Jungle” which has won a Gold Medal in the 2017 International Serious Play Awards.

The team’s aim for the semester was to create a fun educational game for students at the Intermediate Unit and and the Colonial School.  With their clients, the team decided to build an puzzle solving game for 4th to 6th grade students teaching the basic concepts of angles through a fun experience.    You can read about the team’s development of the game on their blog.  Angle Jungle is available for the iPad in the App Store.

 

Congratulations to the Tiny project team: Jibran Khan – Game Designer, Yonglin (Carl) Zhang – programmer, Jun Wang– Co-producer and UI/UX designer,  and  Xueyang (Lena) Wang – co-producer and 2D/3D artist.  The team instructors were Scott Stevens and Ricardo Washington.

The Conference on Serious Games will be held on July 18-20 at George Mason University, Science and Technology Campus.  Serious Play is a gathering where creators and learning professionals can have critical conversations about game design requirements and share their knowledge with peers.  The focus of the conference is exploring opportunities, challenges and the potential of game-based learning.
