Baba is Cool: the journey of level design in the classroom

• Speaker: Isi Cano

Baba is cool is a compilation of levels created by 11-12 year old students using the level editor of Baba is You, a puzzle video game that challenges you to break the rules of the game itself and to manipulate them until you find a way for objects to interact with each other. The rules are blocks, and when you manipulate them you change the way they interact with each other. I would like to talk about how I use this thinky game and its level editor in my elementary school classes.

From my personal experience, I will show the benefits of using video games in school, and how they can help to motivate children aged between 10 and 12 to learn different skills.
