The Michael Smith Labs is pleased to announce their 3rd annual Game-Base STEM Hackathon! Like before, they're looking for keen members of the teaching community to explore this innovative form of professional development with them.

WWEST was a collobrator as was Rob Peregoodoff, and the Genetics Society of America.  

What subject area you will work on is entirely open (this includes social studies type topics as they pertain to science and society or the environment). Note that they are also actively seeking teachers who are interested in women in STEM issues. And note that the lab is open to hosting additional stand alone hackathons if you feel that your school/department is interested in this PD opportunity.

Oh yeah, there’s also a side perk to this workshop – if you do come out, you’ll be eligible for a $50 mini grant, which you can use to continue crafting your designed game. As well, you’ll receive two complimentary Phylo decks – this one and this one.
