Join us for a hands-on gamification workshop where you’ll learn how to make a game by playing one. Why gamify library instruction? Games are inherently educational tools that offer learning opportunities on multiple levels for a variety of learning styles.

Bring your own device or play on paper, and share in small groups how to use gamification for different settings and purposes.
