It's quite difficult to do a plot that makes sense, that also gives way to as many sex scenes as I like to write.""I think it's fun to push your own boundaries a bit and imagine things that you may not be into.""I always divide the story into chapters in the outline so I know what happens where.

How can we harness the power of games for education? In Part 1 of the episode, the podcast explores how the PAX South 2017 gaming conference inspired ideas in better engineering education. In Part 2, we hear from two team members of TEALS, a group supported by Microsoft Philanthropies that was also at PAX. TEALS has been around since 2009, matching volunteer CS professionals with K-12 teachers in schools and developing CS curricula. John Jannone and Brett Wortzman from TEALS explained how they already use games to teach computer science to K-12 students. They discuss how to use game design, content creation, and play to achieve student learning objectives.
