That’s right, it’s CivilizationEDU, the new education-focused version of the hit simulation series that will make learning fun! This isn’t your daddy’s old “Oh no, I died of dysentery” educational gaming, either! Starting next year, The Games for Change Conference and GlassLab Inc. will partner with 2K Games to “provide students with the opportunity to think critically and create historical events, consider and evaluate the geographical ramifications of their economic and technological decisions, and to engage in systems thinking and experiment with the causal/correlative relationships between military, technology, political and socioeconomic development.”
