“Video Games: The Great Connector”

Learn how video games are more than a mode of entertainment, and the important role digital games are playing in the lives of today’s youth.

The exhibition showcases that video games are more than a mode of entertainment for today’s youth; they have become a means for developing personal and professional skills, such as teamwork, complex problem-solving, and building social networks.  Throughout the exhibit, which features 10 fun, interactive gaming stations, visitors will play games, meet historic and contemporary figures in game design and engineering, and uncover the invisible design behind their gaming experience.  There is an emphasis on celebrating the contributions made by people of color in the hope of inspiring Black and Latinx students to consider careers in the gaming industry.
