Abstract

GameWerks is a week long camp experience for middle and high school age campers in which campers work in groups to design a video game concept. At the end of the week, campers pitch their video game concept to video game industry professionals to receive feedback and comments. During the GameWerks experience, we conducted observations and had campers respond to a questionnaire to determine what 21st century skills campers practiced during camp.
