There are several game ideas in both the S.T.E.M game fields and the social game fields. I am going to dicuss 5 different possibilites that involve both of these fields.
   My first idea would involve a war colition game. Such as the one going on now in the middle east countries, it involves all the S.T.E.M fields and the news and civics field.
   When I played the game "Bridge Builder" I really felt like an engineer. I feel that in West Virginia it is crucial to have good roads and bridges to propel our bright citizens on into the future. I feel that the new road from Rita Mall to Man was a great improvment for not only the town but our area as a whole. There are many businesses there that are not easily accessable by the old road. Hopefully in the near future the road will be continued on to Logan.
    My third idea would be one that is close to me. Two of my favorite hobbies include hunting and fishing, and becasue of illegal poaching and disease, the heard is in danger. An ongoing problem in Chief Logan State Park is feeding the animals. Although the people don't feel they are harming the animals, they truly are. My game would include a heard starting out and the people must stop people from poaching and feeding to keep what population they have and keep it growing.  
  My neighbor in class is planning a game about physics with his team. I feel that this is a field of study that everyone should know a little about. They don't realize how much physics involve our lives daily. My game would include different everyday life situations that the player would have to identify and change.
  My fifth and final idea is one that has and is currently being debated, the space shuttle program. I would like to create a design game for people to design and test fly their own space vehicle that Nasa might be able to use one day. It involves both the S.T.E.M. and news game catagories.

Paper Prototyping.

My team mate Holli has done a fabulous job at creating the paper prototype. It shows exactly how our game will go.

Imagining the Game

My team group "Coal Fired" has came up with a game that I am sure will be original. It involves how to mine coal safetly, modernly, and the fastest. It teaches people, in this region particullarily, the basics of coal mining.
All rules and playing methods come from the Mining Safety and Health Administration.
