Want to design games on rural and Indigenous history using primary sources but missed the sign-up last time?

You’re in luck! We’re starting our third (and last) cohort on April 25th and it ends just in time for the Grand Entry for the MSU powwow. For attendees over 60 miles from campus, we can provide you a hotel room overnight plus reimburse you for mileage (up to $200).

You can sign up here. Not only is there no cost to participate but you can get graduate credit for attending all three workshops and submitting a lesson.

We will work with educators to create games and lessons teaching Indigenous and rural history using primary sources. Of course, if these lessons included math or science, we would be thrilled. You can see the game developed with the first cohort, Warrior Vets, here.

Session 1: In-person at Minot State University , 4-6:30 pm Central Time. You can also attend on zoom. Professor Juliana Taken Alive will discuss the Oceti Sakowin Essential Understandings and North Dakota Native American Essential Understandings standards. Dr. Annmaria De Mars will demo the latest game in progress with cohort 2 – STEM on the Lewis and Clark Trail and Dr. Dan Conn will give examples of lesson plans using primary sources to teach about agriculture. Following the workshop session, we’ll go over to the MSU powwow where you can take videos and photos to create your own primary sources.

Sessions 2 and 3 will be virtual. At session 1, we’ll decide on the dates and times this summer that will be convenient for most attendees. If you have to miss a session due to illness, child illness or your spouse won the Nobel Peace Prize, don’t worry, we will have these recorded and send you links for all activities so you can catch up.
