Description
Educational games and activities have proven benefits for achieving learning objectives. They motivate competition, provide immediate rewards for success, and encourage collaborative, problem-based learning - all while framed as a fun activity, rather than laborious task. An overview of ATLAS educational games is given, including: “Making a Splash”, a water-balloon game teaching the physics of colliders; “Proton Cookies”, explaining the constituents of a proton through baked goods; and “Particle Twister”, teaching the Standard Model through the game of Twister. Use cases of these games are described and user feedback is presented.
