Do video games make us more violent? Are kids really learning anything from Minecraft?

This Tech Talk with Dr. Phil Wilkinson dives into what the research says about the educational potential of video games—and the surprising ways they’re being used to develop skills, encourage creativity, and even reshape modern education.

Join us as we unpack the myths, explore the facts, and look at how game mechanics are influencing real-world learning in schools, workplaces, and beyond.

Insights into what current research tells us about video games and learning
A critical look at screen time, violence, and cognitive development
Real-world applications of game-based learning
A fresh take on how games can inspire curiosity, problem-solving, and collaboration
Bonus: Free pizza (as usual)!
