Description

Gaming has evolved beyond traditional play, becoming an immersive, spatial experience that fuels STEM skills and innovation. But for me, it's always been more than just a game. From childhood fascination to using technology to support my mother through chemo and recovery, and now, passing that passion onto my daughters, gaming is a reflection of our perspective.

This session explores how to embrace the future of gaming, bridging the gap between parental perceptions and the realities of modern technology. We'll explore how gaming's spatial shift prepares our children for success in STEM fields, and how a personal journey can illuminate the power of technology. Join me as we uncover how gaming is bigger than just gaming, it's a reflection of our perspective, and a bridge to the future.
