What is TTRPGkids?

TTRPGkids is a free web resource that’s all about using tabletop role-playing games of all shapes and sizes with kids and all-ages. It has info on games that are just for fun and games that are used for applied work in education and therapeutics. TTRPGkids won a silver ENnie, one of the highest awards that is given out in the world of TTRPGs, in 2023 and currently has over 400 articles posted that range from game reviews to interviews with industry leaders to tips from personal experience to educational and library resources. This site is meant to be a helpful one-stop shop for kid-focused and all-ages TTRPGs.

Talk: Teaching Engineering Problem Solving Through Tabletop RPGs

Steph from TTRPGkids is giving a talk on “Teaching Engineering Problem Solving Through Tabletop RPGs” that goes over how TTRPGs reinforce problem solving and can be used with engineering students to practice their skills. You can find details on the talk through the link above, and, for supporting material specifically for this particular talk, check out these articles on TTRPGkids:

• Practicing engineering problem solving with TTRPGs
