Fall 2011
The Illuminate project is the first step towards inspiring young minds to pursue science and engineering as a career. Initiated by DARPA, this is a multi-year project working in conjunction with many different institutions and organizations, such as the Sesame Workshop and Carnegie Mellon’s Human Computer Interaction Institute. The end-product will be a multi-platform game for 1st-3rd graders that inspires interest and teaches basic concepts in the field of science. This semester, we are focusing on developing game prototypes that will utilize these concepts in a fun way and lay the foundation for further development.
