GLaSS : Game Lab Summer School
2016 Biodesign Edition

For the second year in a row, fifteen international students will develop biology-inspired games, with the aim of pushing the boundaries of bio design and game development.

Along with the CRI Paris GameLab and assisted by experts in biology, game making and education, they will work in teams and contribute to open source science and design. Accompanied by fascinating classes, varied challenges, and exciting events, it will be an exciting time to share skills, experiment, and learn by doing!

The program is divided in 3 parts :

Weeks 1-2: Inspiration

- Master classes and workshops in game development and biology.

Week 3: Ideation

- A week-long first attempt at making a biodesign game.

Weeks 4-8: Creation
