The Games-to-Teach Project is a partnership between MIT and Microsoft to develop conceptual prototypes for the next generation of interactive educational entertainment. In our first year, we developed conceptual frameworks of games for math, science, and engineering education. This year, we are developing prototypes of two of these titles for testing and developing five more conceptual frameworks of games in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Directed by MIT's Program in Comparative Media Studies, Games-to-Teach is funded as a part of Microsoft iCampus and supported by the Learning Sciences and Technologies Lab at Microsoft Research.

Henry Jenkins, Director of Comparative Media Studies, and Randy Hinrichs, Group Research Manager for Learning Science and Technology within Microsoft Researchserves as Principal Investigators of an interdisciplinary team of faculty, staff, and students from the humanities, sciences, math, and engineering.
