Gaming for Growth: Revolutionizing Teen Future-Readiness

Description:

According to YPulse research, 95% of Gen Z regularly play games on their devices. According to ASA research, the majority of high school students/recent graduates say they would have benefited from more career-focused learning in secondary school. There’s a prime opportunity to combine career-readiness education with gamified digital learning (co-designed with teens) to foster self-directed learning and illuminate a wide range of possibilities for the future. Join us for a discussion featuring emerging voices in youth-centric digital gaming!
