Have you ever heard of Backwards Design? Using one of the oldest games in history, the ancient Mesopotamian game of Ur, students in Mr. Ibanez’s Game Design class created their own version of the game with some help from Math Teacher Ms. Heintz who introduced concepts like parabolas to better understand the best odds of rolling the dice. Both a history lesson and a glimpse into the future as part of their “Backward Design” unit for creating real video games.

With the knowledge gained from their expedition, students will continue to examine the effects of gold mining on various landscapes and people in the American West.
