We are proud to announce the spring 2014 projects selected to receive funding from the Hrabowski Fund for Innovation.

IMPLEMENTATION AND RESEARCH GRANT

Re-playing the Past: Building a Digital Game for the History Classroom– A team led by Anne Sarah Rubin, Associate Professor of History, brings together history and game development to immerse students in Civil War Baltimore. Linking history and computer science/visual arts courses through gamification, graduate historians and undergraduate game developers will collaborate to create a game prototype that both engages and educates students in the "world" of the past. By playing the game, students will better understand the limits of knowledge, resources, and abilities that confronted and confounded people who participated in historic events.
