GameDesk

GameDesk was created to develop a “next generation” model of education, revolutionizing the way we teach and learn.

We are a research, game development, and outreach organization that has evolved out of seven years of research at the University of Southern California. We have developed, tested and evaluated next generation game curriculum and software throughout various pilots in schools and community centers in the Los Angeles area.

The organization’s focus is to help close the achievement gap and to engage students, particularly those that are low-proficient, in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) learning. GameDesk embeds STEM content into game-centered projects with a strong focus on fostering students’ sense of purpose, ownership, and personal relevance.
