May 10, 2013 - 11:43amI had the serendipitous opportunity to interview Dr. Patrick Jagoda, a co-founder of the Game Changer Chicago Design Lab, about Game Changer’s newly released game, Lucidity.

Patrick and I talked about the design process for Lucidity, and the joys and challenges of working with young people and technology.
