Social Awareness through Play


I met with Dr. Francisco Ortega on Friday, he's an assistant professor at Tech, and one of the topics we discussed was a project he did for his thesis. He created a set of games, two of which are downloadable at his site ludoztli.com and deal with relations between Mexico and the U.S. I found it very interesting that his approach to bring about social awareness takes a route through one of those scarcely visited social situations that many of us remember from our childhood, playing boardgames.

If you have the chance, please check out his site. It might, at very least, open an eye to the immigration issue.
