Like moth to flame, kids are naturally drawn to video games. When though concerns about screen time, social interactions, and violence may be nagging away at our parental conscience, there are important skills that video games can teach. And that desire to be a video game designer? Don’t scoff. What a great way to integrate science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) into a profession.
