High Life! How six Real Talk teens, two RPI professors, a smattering of grad students, and three clueless staff worked together to create a game app that addresses the negative, positive, and neutral consequences of pot, tobacco, and alcohol use among Black/Latino urban teens, ages 13-17. Participants in this workshop will hear via Skype from the six youth who created first the board game and then the game app, "High Life," and the professors who taught them how. Real Talk youth share ways to teach other teens about behavior change and risk/harm reduction in a nonjudgmental way, how to playtest a game, game app creation including the mechanics, marketing via social media, and more! Professor Chang (Department of the Arts Director, Games and Simulation Arts and Sciences), and, Laquana Cooke (PhD Candidate in Communication and Rhetoric), will discuss some of their research and experiences associated with this project.
