The Game Changers Workshop

Course · Reichman University · since 2023

In 2023 the school of entrepreneurship at Reichman university launched the "Game Changers" program, a program that intersects entrepreneurship, video games and impact. I had never come across an academic setting that drew so precisely on my skills, connections, experience and passion.

Happily, I began teaching at its capstone workshop, where I am working with teams of students from the initial idea of a startup or an NGO, all the way to a working product and first customers.

I'm sharing the current course decks here, along with links to the students' final presentations. Take a look.

Games in Learning

Course · Kibbutzim College · since 2013

Video games and learning are two fields woven into one another, and happily the Technology in Education department at Kibbutzim College thought so too. Leading to a hands-on course where teachers learn about video games and about the ways they can be used in a classroom, and where the final exercise has them use a video game in the classroom themselves, for some of them, for the first time in their lives.

I've taught the course every year, sometimes more than one cohort, without a break since 2013!
