We promote GAMING LITERACY: the play, analysis, and creation of games, as a foundation for learning, innovation, and change in the 21st century. Through a variety of programs centered on game design, the Institute engages audiences of all ages, exploring new ways to think, act, and speak through gaming in a social world.

Produced by the Mobile Learning Institute and featuring the hard-working Mobile Quest campers, this video was completed during the preparation of the Mobile Quest games festival. Mobile Quest was a week-long game design camp where 5th graders made games using N85 smartphones. Focusing on the phones' GPS, bluetooth and code-reading capabilities, the Mobile Questers worked with game designers and mobile application developers to learn about game design, smartphones and data literacy.

To find out more about Mobile Quest, check out the Mobile Quest blog for photos, videos and the downloadable Mobile Quest Curriculum Kit PDF.
