Game Design 98

Game Design 99 Are You Creative? Do You Enjoy Playing Games On The Web? Do You Enjoy Science? Do You Need A Project For Your Thesis? Have You Ever Thought Of Creating A Game For The Web? Well, Here's Your Chance! The Consortium for Polymer and Materials Education is Challenging You to Design a Game for the Web.

Overview The Game Design 99 contest is a part of our ongoing endeavor to offer a comprehensive selection of educational on-line opportunities for learning about polymer science. To prepare an entry, you can work individually or with a team to design a game. All entries will be reviewed and the top ten will be selected to receive prizes. Each entry that meets the requirements will be invited to a lab forum to show their ideas and meet people from the Polymer Science, Materials Science, and Bio-Materials Learning Center Design Teams and the Consortium for Polymer and Materials Education. Purpose Game Design 99 is designed to challenge those interested to use their knowledge of computers and science to create games for use in polymer education through the Web. Prizes Prizes will be given to the top ten entries. All Prizes will be donated by sponsors. The Consortium for Polymer and Materials Education (CPME) will choose the top games that will become a part of the public domain for the CPME sites. The games chosen to become a part of the CPME sites will give full credit to the designers. The CPME asks that if a designer decides to sell their game in the future, they inform the buyer that it is also a part of the CPME sites for polymer and materials education.
