Current projects

Learning through play! – this is the vision of the GameLab at the University of Vienna. Digital games have become a form of pop culture experience that encompasses all age groups. In an educational context, digital games can become spaces for exploratory scientific simulation and experimentation, thereby significantly supporting learning in terms of the 4K future skills. They require learners to actively engage with the material and equip them with agency.

As a teaching and research institution, GameLab provides the equipment to make game-based learning tangible, designable, and researchable. In order to achieve greater reach and accessibility, existing workshops for educationally disadvantaged target groups are to be adapted, further developed, and implemented as part of the project.
