Subject: Help brainstorm for a game to teach ELS and SEL youth in Kazakhstan

 

Hi All,

 

I’m mentoring a startup non-profit out of Harvard whose mission is:

 

To provide a mobile educational game that will help teenagers in Kazakhstan learn English vocabulary as well as build social emotional learning (SEL) skills.

 

They are new to game design and could use some help with an hour or so of brainstorming game mechanics from someone with some experience.

 

It is a great team and they would really benefit even from a short zoom call with someone from our community.

 

Please let me know if you would be willing to help out.

 

Best -=Steve

Steve, here, this Discord server has a brainstorm channel for game dev, so finding people who have experience with game design and have time for a chat should be easier there: https://discord.gg/QZpcRqcf

Also, on the same note: anyone knows a Discord focused on applied/serious games/simulations? One active Discord about the subject would be excellent for brainstorming as Steve and his team needs (and more stuff). The only one I know that's close of is one for games applied against global warming :/

Have you checked if Raim Ismail is available? https://www.ramiismail.com/

He has been giving consultancy by - if I remember it right - affordable costs, so he can help your team, or know someone that can be of assistance? (as he was 50% of Vlambeer, a very good game studio).

Hope this helps,

Cláuvin

I’ve designed and produced word games. 

I’m currently producing a game that could be applied to this. 

But in any case even though I’m extremely busy I might be able to help them out.
