So we are going to dive into this conversation with Steve D. So we're going to talk about what it means to be a game designer and how that can improve other aspects of our lives. And Roger and I are both teachers and our listeners, or you are likely in education or doing some sort of homeschool environment or a parent. And you might want to learn a little bit about how you can leverage the same ideas in game design for teaching or for learning. And Steve is going to be giving a talk at the GPL conference coming up in April. Dave has chatted about that on episode a couple times, he's been a regular guest co host, and he'll be back on our next interview episode and he'll share a little bit more about the conference. But if you go to gvl conference calm, you can check out the lineup for that conference, I will be given a talk as well with a panel about using game based learning to create a more empathetic and connected environment and with our communities in our classrooms. And if you use BG ee as the code to register, you'll save 20 bucks on the conference and it helps support our podcast too. So let's listen into this conversation with Steve and then we'll come back with Roger to chat a little bit more about the conversation and to play wits and wagers.
