About the Education Arcade
The Education Arcade explores games that promote learning through authentic and engaging play. TEA's research and development projects focus both on the learning that naturally occurs in popular commercial games, and on the design of games that more vigorously address the educational needs of players.

New York Times Magazine for September 19 has a lengthy article about New York City’s
