Major gaming festival showcases BYU student project
In January of this year, thousands of teens collaborated with the ghosts of Thomas Edison, Ada Lovelace, Steve Jobs and other renowned thinkers in order to defeat a mysterious villain known simply as “S.” This investigating took place within the confines of “The Tessera,” an alternate-reality game (ARG) designed by an interdisciplinary team of students from BYU and the University of Maryland. Thanks to funding provided by the National Science Foundation, these students created the educational game as a way to introduce teenagers to the world of computational thinking.
