Envisioning the Possibilities of Educational Gaming with Carl Sagan
Envisioning the Possibilities of Educational Gaming with Carl Sagan
By Kellie Taylor
In the late summer of 1983, when video games were relatively new, astronomer, cosmologist, and science communicator Carl Sagan recognized their potential value as he imagined “how to design a home video game which would teach a great deal of astronomy in a context as exciting as most violent video games.” His typed notes reflected his interest in creating a game that would include a hundred thousand stars in its model galaxy and take place over stellar evolutionary events.
