It was a summer to renovate our commitment to the intellectual, academic, and personal growth of young leaders and maintain the unity of our learning community as “one program on three sites.” It was also a summer to honor the past and reconnect our alumni’s achievements with the bright future of many new generations to be served by the GSP. On June 13, more than 1,100 scholars—both past and present—all gathered together on Centre College’s campus for Alumni Day. Although Alumni Day has been a recurring event on our three campuses, for the first time this year we united the scholars in one place to meet with GSP alumni who have become leaders throughout our Commonwealth.

  • Nasa Game Catalog
    NASA GAME CATALOG Daniel Laughlin, Ph.D. Digital Medial Learning Fellow NASA Office of Education GESTAR/MSU Last Revised June 2014 0 Executive Summary NASA has been using games for education and communication since at least 1998, yet there has never been a thorough effort to gather information about all the games together, to analyze what kind of games NASA has, what lessons have been learned, or what assets might be shared and reused. As a co- chair for the National Science and Technology Council’s Digital Game Technologies Interagency Working Group, NASA found it unable to answer questions like “how many games have you built?” or “have you created any mobile games?” None of the other twenty-four working group members could answer those questions definitively either. This catalog details the extent of NASA’s game portfolio, so that others developing new games are able to build upon the lessons learned from the past. Enclosed herein are details on fourteen individual games that have been created by or for NASA as well as two collections of hosted Flash games. Each entry has information about the game, including a screen shot, point of contact (if available), and a link to the game’s site. The games are identified by genre, NASA content or contribution, and intended audience or Entertainment Software Review Board (ESRB) rating. This catalog is a living document and will be updated over time as more games are developed or discovered. It is likely that some games have been missed. NASA is the first federal entity attempting to definitively catalog its games.
