Meet our scholars

I have always enjoyed computer games and playing around with coding but in recent years I have become aware of the potential they have to make a real impact. There has been a lot of publicity about the possible negative impacts, which are real, but there is also real potential for games to provide positive outcomes for a wide range of people. Games can educate and inform people about important issues like sustainability. They can promote understanding of cultures, lifestyles, and varying abilities, thus promoting inclusion. They can engage and stimulate the brains of all ages from early learners through to the elderly. Games can also be an important driver of economic growth in Australia’s cities and regions. I hope to be able to create games that can make a positive impact in the lives of a diverse range of people, as well as just being fun.
