Detail Description:
As the vision of Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, OUR COURTS is a free website offering several online games, with accompanying teacher materials, designed to teach students civics and inspire them to be active participants in our democracy.
-
Filament Games, the game developer in the OUR COURTS team, brought to life "Argument Wars," "Supreme Decision," and "Do I have a Right?" to help middle school students "learn by doing civics" rather than simply learning about civics.
-
Joining us to discuss the creation of these games will be Filament Games' Dan White (Founding Partner & CEO) and/or Dan Norton (Founding Partner & Lead Designer). Prior to this session, you can play the OUR COURTS games (
http://ourcourts.org/play-games
) and learn more about Justice O'Connor's vision (

).
