TTRPGs in EDU – Not Just Math and Reading: Recording from Origins 2025
During Origins 2025, I was part of the Education & Game Based Therapy Conference that was nested inside the convention! I recorded some of the talks that I did as part of that event, and I’m happy to share with you the first in a series of audio + slideshow presentations from this year’s Origins.
You can find the video here, where Jennifer Genova and I discuss how TTRPGs can be used for eductional beyond math class and reinforcing reading skills! We dive into some of our favorite game, multiple examples for history and science classes, and what kind of life skills these games develop alongside academics.
And… if you want some other content to explore while you listen or for afterwards, check out the links below the presentation!
