Making Education Hip (and Hop)

An augmented reality game being developed by a group at the University of Wisconsin (Local Games Lab) invites students to conduct research centered around the task of creating a hip hop store at a local mall. Using a theme to organize the research and data analysis tasks, especially one that so many student are familiar with and enthralled by, seems to be just the spoonful of sugar needed to help the medicine go down.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal: Rapped attention
Hip-hop game puts students' math, business skills to the test
