In September 2020 Impact Gamers ran “Impact Games” a project to work with Girlguiding Cymru and Cardiff University for Cardiff Science Festival 2021.
We remotely trained up university students in games making.
We then supported these students to run workshops with Girlguide groups in South Wales. Their task was to make a game based off some current research happening by a female scientist.
The results were incredible. See and play them below.
Here are the 9 games and the research their game is inspired from.
