MFA students Cheng Zhang (Design/CSE) and Sherri Larrimer (Design) have been chosen as (1 of 3) finalists in the Shoot for the Moon: Games for Change (G4C) Design Challenge. Associate Professor of Design Alan Price is the advisor for both students.

More information concerning the students' proposal can be seen on the ACCAD site.

The challenge invites game designers to envision an interactive experience that encourages space exploration and at the same time captures comprehensive real-world data that will inform the mission of SpaceIL. Three finalists will be selected to present their ideas on stage at the 11th Annual Games for Change Festival (April 22-24 & 26) in New York with the full attention of attendees, potential funders, and a live jury. The winning design concept will be announced at the festival and in the media. The final game will be featured on the SpaceIL website.

NYU Skirlball Center for Performing Arts.
