Located in the Media Arts, Data, & Design Center (MADD Center) in Crerar Library, the Weston Game Lab (WGL) is a place for study, development, and play. Through the WGL, students, faculty, and staff will collaborate the research and development of games—whether digital, board, card, or alternate reality—that produce social impact or experiment with form. Participants will also be able to research the history of games from technical and theoretical perspectives, attend workshops that afford new development skills, and organize collaborative groups for game-based experiments.

Access to many WGL resources is managed through the MADD Center Canvas course. Self-enrollment in the Canvas course is available via this link.
