Bill Bechdel and Brian Mayer have been working on some cool ways to engage our THATCampers.  We’re kicking off the day at 9 a.m. with Brian and Bill talking about escape rooms and their approaches, then we break into the unconference portion of the day.

We’re setting up the unconference so that campers will have the option to participate in workshops on games, design, and curriculum or they can propose a session.

10 a.m. Brian and Bill will lead a hands-on workshop on designing games.  If you don’t want to do that, propose a session campers.  It’s an unconference!

11 a.m. open sessions – propose something when you register

Lunch – we’re eating at the Hickey.  Lunch is on us.

1 a.m. Brian will have a hands-on session on aligning escape experiences to a curriculum.   Again, we will also have open sessions.

2:30 We can head down to XPhobia  to play!     You can register at http://bonas2017.thatcamp.org.  You don’t have to stay for the entire event.

We’re excited to host a second THATCamp at St. Bonaventure University.  We’re putting some finishing touches on planning, but we are going to follow a similar format as last year.  We’re also working with XPhobia Entertainment, Olean’s very own escape room.   For swag, we’re giving away admission to escape rooms.  We’re planning on some unconference sessions around using escape rooms, games, and puzzles in teaching.

There’s a new THATCamp being planned! The details will be published here when known. Meanwhile, read more about the THATCamp movement and browse other THATCamps at thatcamp.org.
