Walden, a game, EDU adapts the widely acclaimed experimental game based on Thoreau’s Transcendentalist masterpiece as a set of games-based learning modules with integrated standards-based curriculum in ELA, Social Studies, Social and Emotional Learning, History, Civics, and Environmental Science. Created in collaboration with teachers, students, content advisors, games-based learning experts, and evaluators, Walden, a game EDU is a model for online and hybrid games-based learning experience in the humanities. This showcase of Walden, a game EDU will contain completely new content, gameplay, and integrated curriculum that will be fully playable at the showcase and will be the first in-person demonstration of this new educational version of the game.
