Gaming for Understanding – Brenda Romero talk

Here is the link for the TedX talk we saw in class: https://www.ted.com/talks/brenda_brathwaite_gaming_for_understanding#t-167451
“It’s never easy to get across the magnitude of complex tragedies — so when Brenda Romero’s daughter came home from school asking about slavery, she did what she does for a living — she designed a game. She describes the surprising effectiveness of this game, and others, in helping the player really understand the story.

This talk was presented to a local audience at TEDxPhoenix, an independent event. TED editors featured it among our selections on the home page.”
