Please submit applications by May 1st. Applicants will be selected and notified by May 4th.
The Learning Games Lab offers Think Tank sessions each summer. Game consultants involved in Summer Think Tank sessions have an opportunity to test and evaluate games in development at NMSU or on the market. Through such evaluations, students are exposed to possible careers, terminology and design in the game development field, while building on writing, presentation and other communication skills. Session dates and times for the 2012 Summer Think Tanks will be announced in early April 2012. Check the site during that time to apply to applicable sessions. Selected consultants will be notified as soon as possible.
Expert Think Tank Opportunities
Expert consultants (outstanding consultants who were asked to return to participate during sessions in the school year) in the Learning Games Lab engage in more in-depth learning opportunities throughout the school year.
