Purpose/Abstract

In a research-practice collaboration to improve a video game-based math program, partners from Birmingham City Schools, Mind Education, and WestEd are modeling what it can look like to bring transparency, consistency, and humanity to the work.

The post highlights how co-design becomes more powerful when it is grounded in local context and expertise, and when people-centered design keeps learners and communities at the center.
