Description

According to Elon Musk:


"Generally you want education to be as close to a video game as possible, like a good video game. You do not need to tell your kid to play video game. They will play video games on autopilot all day."

Dr. Kelly Tran and Kevin Caldwell are the founders of Evolved Play, a “Games and Learning” company that focuses on designing ethically and creating software that helps kids develop not just as players, but as human beings. Specifically to help learn life lessons in a seem less and effortless way.


In this episode, we discuss the differences that come with developing games for kids, especially the ethical considerations of creating products for children and balancing monetary gain with mindful design.


Our two experts (the first design duo we've had on our show!) explain their backgrounds and what motivated them to purse this path of weaving learning and kids games together.
