"Video gaming is a serious business, not a waste of time".
Prof. Massimilano Andreoletti held a very playful seminar about video gaming on Wednesday morning. The participants was invited to play a game of
'”Crayon Physics” which involved everyone in the problem solving.
Some of the participants was invited to the stage and should play the game while the other should observe the players. But most got involved in the problem
solving and had difficulties observing the players. Prof Andreoletti used this as an example on how video gaming can be used to educate.
Professor Andreoletti also gave a background
on the video gaming industry and did a comparison with modern rock stars, where many games outperform the artists
in numbers of sold copies. So, for Prof Andreoletti the ”video gaming is a serious business, not a vaste of time”.
