1) The GameLab at Binus University conducts research on using games for greater good such as physical and psychological therapy. 2) It aims to build a research community within Binus and strengthen partnerships with industry, government, and other academics. 3) The GameLab hosts various events like seminars, conferences, and playtesting sessions and has published papers on game design, artificial intelligence, and serious games.

2. “We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because
we stop playing.” (George Bernard Shaw)
“Play is the highest form of Research.” (Albert Einstein)
“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a
year of conversation.” (Plato)

3. Problem:
There is negative stigma about game among communities.
“Addiction, behavioral change, a waste of time and money”
(http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2015/06/07/)
Research Question:
Can we use games for greater good?
