Gaming 4 Good is an innovative project designed to spark interest in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and math) for middle school students with neurodevelopmental disabilities, such as autism, ADHD and dyslexia. At this four-week-long class, students will use Nintendo Switch and game design tools to create and refine their own video games in a sensory-friendly space. They’ll collaborate with peers, mentors and experts to build problem-solving, data analysis and critical thinking skills — foundational skills for success in STEM fields. This is a unique opportunity for students to learn, create and be rewarded for their efforts! 

An expert team from the University of Missouri School of Information Science & Learning Technologies — including educators, technologists, instructional designers and accessibility specialists — will ensure that the curriculum is inclusive, engaging and effective for neurodiverse learners. Snacks provided.

For students in grades 6-8. This is an 8-session class; see all dates.
