Do you grab for your phone every time it vibrates or dings? Have your grades or relationships suffered or have you lost sleep because of gaming? Did you know that for game companies will do whatever it takes to get your money and keep your attention? In this multi-day course we will explore the psychology of how companies purposely create addiction in their customers for profit and take that knowledge and put into practice by creating our own game concepts with as many addictive aspects as possible. This is called project based learning, where you take knowledge you've learned, and apply it. The goal of doing this is you'll develop a deep understanding and recognize when companies use these tactics to steal your time and your money. Day 1: The" In" Crowd: The psychology of "likes" and trends and the qualities that make social media and the internet so addictive. How is addiction built into gaming? Day 2: Let's Play A Game: The immersive world of gaming. What's a problem and what's not when it comes to gaming and the internet? Day 3: Create Your Games: This will be an activity started in class. Students will be put into break out rooms to work together on creating the most addictive and fun game possible to present to the class. Day 4: Student Game Presentations Day 5: Student Game Presentations and Wrap UP We realize that most students do not want to be in this class. They didn't choose this class and they will do whatever they can to get out of it. We try to make the content as engaging as possible but this isn't just a fun class. We also rely a lot on student participation. We can not make your student participate or apply the lessons taught.

Orientación para padres
This class is educational and not a replacement for counseling or therapy. This class is to help students identify the tricks that companies use to create addiction and to recognize those things when they encounter them in everyday life.
This class many students do not WANT to take and we have found that students may log in for 2-5 minutes and log off telling parents "It was boring." We have students who game during class. These are classic defensive behaviors, and while they are expected to some degree, we can not force your student to participate.
No refunds will be given for a student who leaves early.
Students who share inappropriate things during their presentations may be removed from class if redirection doesn't work. No refunds will be given for inappropriate behavior.
Lista de útiles escolares
Students may want pen and paper or access to some sort of program like google slides to create their presentations (though that isn't required).
