Outreach Gaming: Quick Game Experiences for Engaging the Public at Community Events
Summary:
Use games for library outreach at events like street festivals, markets, and art fairs. Participants will receive game recommendations, best practices, and play games proven effective for outreach.
Description:
Outreach events present unique opportunities for libraries and educational institutions to connect with the local population. Street festivals, concerts, art fairs, museum nights, and other events bring people with common interests together and allow them permission to play. Through transforming the library booth into an active space using games, it’s possible to invite the public to play while having friendly conversations about services available, discussing the mission of the library, and humanizing the institution overall.

Pandemic is a treasure trove of concepts. Explore practical applications of the board game to teach middle/high school level life science, mathematics, public health, and more.
Description:
In a medical themed sophomore STEAM course, I use the board game Pandemic to introduce students to the CDC, to discuss roles on a team (and how they can use their strengths), map skills, vocabulary, strategy, and more. Many aspects of the game can be supported with content and activities from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, as well. Participants should leave with a list of how to use Pandemic in their classroom as well as a broader discussion of how games can support classroom learning.
