The Gamification Lab is an intensive 18-week program focused on applied games and gamification across the fields of agriculture, healthcare, and entrepreneurship.
During the first 9 weeks, selected students participate in an immersive course exploring both the theory and practice of game design, gamification, and innovation. In the following 9-week LAB stage, participants develop applied game concepts created during the course while working in multidisciplinary teams.
Students accepted into the program will also have the opportunity to recruit interns from other Ashesi faculties to join their teams during the LAB phase, encouraging cross-disciplinary collaboration and real-world problem solving. All learning activities, mentorship, collaboration, and project development take place through a dedicated Discord community and a members-only online learning platform included with course acceptance.
