Game Design

Merit Badge Series

by Boy Scouts of America

For Thousands of years, in every culture, across every part of the globe, people have played games. Games challenge us to overcome long odds, tell compelling stories, and allow us to work with or against one another. They give structure to play. Games motivate us to find creative solutions, practice new skills, and spend time with others...everyone has played games, and games help make us who we are.
Game Design is the process of creating the content and rules of games. Along the way, game designers take on many different roles: builders, engineers, scientists, teachers and dreamers.

A great new addition to the Boy Scouts of American Merit Badge series. Not only does it have an appealing topic for Scouts (teenage boys), but it also teaches the design process that will be very valuable to them in their futures. Topics, such as analyzing needs, drawing out ideas, creating prototypes, testing and re-evaluating and redesigning are all very relevant in the business world. I cannot wait to walk my Scouts through this process.
