SUMMARY:What Playfulness Can Change
DESCRIPTION:Check for locations at http://student.mit.edu/iap/ns85.html \n\nScot Osterweil\, Creative director \nEnrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up\nAttendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions \nThis class is about exploring playfulness and its business applications. \nPlayfulness is a very human value proposition that empowers people doing all kind of things. In this class\, I’m offering to discover the Playful and all its possibilities: From the empowerment of your employees\, your processes or your learning\, the Playful design methodology can be a real leverage of empowerment. \nThe class is open for all and divided in 3 workshops that are independent from each other but you are encouraged to follow all of them to have a better overview! \nContact: Laure Dousset\, +33681756009\, LDOUSSET@MIT.EDU \n\nSerious games co-design\n\n\n\n\nJan/12\nThu\n02:00PM-04:00PM\nLocation TBD\n\n\n\nSerious games are games that have another purpose than just pure entertainment. In this class\, we will test a serious game about Blockchain\, and try to assess it and find guidelines for when you’re developing that kind of game. After that\, I will share tips with you to design your serious game! Don’t hesitate to come with a topic in mind. \nScot Osterweil – Creative director\, Laure Dousset \n\nPlayfulness and your project\n\n\n\n\nJan/19\nThu\n02:00PM-04:00PM\nLocation TBD\n\n\n\nWhen you’re designing something\, it’s important to take the user experience into account. What I’m offering you in this class is to come with a project you have in mind (a technology\, a product\, a service) and to empower the experience with the playful methodology. You will see how you can use the playful value proposition\, and if you don’t have an idea in mind\, I have several interesting ones for you. \nScot Osterweil – Creative director\, Laure Dousset \n\nPlayfulness and your team\n\n\n\n\nJan/26\nThu\n02:00PM-04:00PM\nLocation TBD\n\n\n\nWe’ll see how to use playfulness in a team. How can you empower them using playful levers? Together\, we’ll practice by taking examples and try to use the playful design methodology to do this. We’ll choose together practical use cases you can encounter in your daily routines at work and try to make a change in order to make them more playful! \nLaure Dousset\, Scot Osterweil – Creative director

SUMMARY:IAP 2017: Global Game Jam

Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development. It is the growth of an idea that in today’s heavily connected world\, we could come together\, be creative\, share experiences and express ourselves in a multitude of ways using video games – it is very universal. The weekend stirs a global creative buzz in games\, while at the same time exploring the process of development\, be it programming\, iterative design\, narrative exploration or artistic expression. It is all condensed into a 48 hour development cycle. The GGJ encourages people with all kinds of backgrounds to participate and contribute to this global spread of game development and creativity. \nWe open our doors on Friday\, January 20th at 5pm and run until midnight that day. Our site is open Saturday\, January 21st from 9am until midnight\, and Sunday\, January 22nd from 9am until 6pm. \nThe Global Game Jam is a 3-day event\, but our site closes at night so participants can go home and get rested for the next day. Participants should plan to attend the entire duration of the event as your team will need you to complete your game! \nParticipants must register to attend: http://gamelab.mit.edu/event/global-game-jam-2017-at-mit/ \n \nWe have 30 free slots open for the MIT Community (must have an @mit.edu email address to register). \nContact: Richard Eberhardt\, E15-329\, 617 324-2173\, REBERHAR@MIT.EDU \n  \nKeynote & Kickoff Presentations\n\n\n\n\nJan/20\nFri\n05:00PM-08:00PM\n32-123\n\n\n\nThe jam begins with a keynote\, presentations about the Jam\, and reveal of the Jam topic. \nTeams will be formed by 8:00pm. \n\nGame Jam\n\n\n\n\nJan/20\nFri\n08:00PM-11:45PM\n32-124 & 32-144\n\n\n\nJan/21\nSat\n09:00AM-11:45PM\n56-154\, 56-169\, and\n\n\n\nJan/22\nSun\n09:00AM-03:00PM\n32-124 & 32-144\n\n\n\nWork days for the Jam.
