Abstract:

The Museum of Science, Boston and GAMBIT lab at MIT worked over the summer of 2011 to develop a STEM-based soft-bodied physics game named "Squeezicks", available for online play but also being developed as an exhibit-floor interactive experience. The purpose of the game is to educate and inspire visitors about the video game industry, and mainly to show the vast amount of STEM-based skills needed in this rapidly growing sector. The demonstration includes a setup of the game itself as it sits ont he exhibit floor, as a one-to-four player game in a virtual environment, accompanied by a video of interpretive material about the game itself, the 8-week development sprint, and focusing on the STEM-based content and considerations around the game itself.
