After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

… understand and apply design methods and elements of game design to solve real-world problems.
… absorb theoretical knowledge in the field of game studies and game design research
… transfer this knowledge into the practice of gameful design

The goal of this course is to create (predominantly non-digital) games for students of the course »Denkweisen der Informatik«. The games should help students to understand basic topics of the course and guide them in critical reception and discussions of the content.  

The course takes place in an interdisciplinary collaboration with students from the Teacher's education department of University of Vienna. Half of the workshops will take place at University of Vienna, the other half at TU Wien.
