Participatory Design Studio: Serious Gaming

Course description In this studio you will design and develop serious games that explore the challenges of coastal change for the town of Jean Lafitte in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. These games will use Tangible Landscape - a tangible interface for GIS - to model, simulate, and visualize alternative future scenarios. The games will address the impact of coastal change - of storm surge, flooding, erosion, and land-loss - on Jean Lafitte. The games will explore how methods for defense or adaptation such as evacuation, levee construction, elevated buildings, floating buildings, and bioretention wetlands perform in simulated storms. You will run a serious gaming workshop for the community in Jean Lafitte and another for the LSU College of Art and Design.
