High school students test computer games made by U-M students

On Tuesday, April 19, David Chesney‘s ENG100 class, Gaming for the Greater Good, showcased their final class projects to a group of Dexter high school students interested in computer science. The Dexter students played the games, asked questions, and voted for their favorites.

In a collaboration with the U-M CS Mott Children’s Hospital, these video games were designed to accommodate the needs of individuals with fine motor control disabilities or vision impairment, such as those with Cerebral Palsy or traumatic brain injuries who have extreme difficulties in using keyboard interfaces.

A number of prizes for the class were provided by Google, Microsoft, and Electronic Arts.
