Games for Change: Teen Scene Panel

Description: Go behind the scenes as students at a Washington DC public high school work to create a 3d game for the American Red Cross.

This is a documentary from one of the panelists who is speaking at the Games for Change Teen Scene panel that shows us how teens are more than just playing games. They are creating, modding, evaluating, and even making movies out of them. Come here area teens from a variety of after school programs report on their activities and describe the impact this is having on their lives.

Quote from panelists: "In order for us to make a game about fire safety, we had to learn about fire safety."

"Imagine America being smarter because of playing games.  Imagine a world where we care about issues because we play videos.   And it is enjoyable. "
