I found out about this initiative through a LinkedIn post from Bronwyn Stuckey. The idea is that the girls, aged 10-15, design and develop the games and then, after trying them all out, vote and stage a competition among themselves on the winning game. This is an idea that works on numerous levels, from participation to design to collaboration to decision-making. In the LinkedIn post, however, Stuckey describes one teacher who "disagreed with the outcome and the process, believing her student team and game should have received awards/recognition for designing a more complex game design." Teachers, felt the teacher, should be the ones deciding on the best game. I cannot emphasize how much I disagree with this. I'm happy to say that most of the comments support the original design.
