IN A SYMPOSIUM OF LEARNING ADVENTURES

 

The Ebola scare this past year, the heroin epidemic in the northeast, the vaccine controversy, and the surprisingly high U.S. infant mortality rate heightened awareness of our precarious public health. How can a revolutionary new educational approach to these issues through games and simulations provide inroads to solve these critical problems? Join a group of stellar game and simulation designers and public health experts in a dynamic hands-on exploration of creative problem solving symposium.
