Interdisciplinary Gaming Skills in the Health Entrepreneurship Context (Technology)

Students and alumni in the collaborative can enroll in the elective course to learn gaming skills to create games that aid the learning of health entrepreneurship. The purpose of this course is to provide students with guided practice in creating simple games that teach/reinforce information skills. The games produced will be used to teach in the Ashesi Health Initiative.

The value of incorporating gamification in classes is that it notably improves students’ learning process and their motivation. Gaming contributes to the better acquisition of knowledge and professional content and enhances academic performance.
