Summary
At the Calcalist Gaming Conference, Yael Hakshurian, head of practical studies at Kibbutzim College’s School of Design, presented two educational game projects developed in response to the October 7 events. The first, Rugelach Games, includes mobile games that help children understand wartime realities, such as alarms and shelters, and features simple, Hebrew-language gameplay. The second project focuses on trailblazing women and accessibility, involving a digital escape room game designed by students to represent people with disabilities. Both projects fall under "serious games," aiming to entertain while promoting social awareness, inclusion, and resilience through technology and game design.
