    Lab

    The Prototyping, Education and Technology Lab (PETLab) is dedicated to designing and using games as a form of public interest and engagement. PETLab emphasizes iterative design methodologies and collaborative design processes. Through our work, we connect with scholars and designers in digital media, practitioners working in education and on social issues, and people of all ages at play.

    Support for PETLab has come from the AMD Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation’s Digital Media and Learning initiative, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Knight Foundation, The New School, and other generous funders.

    We have worked with a wide range of partners such as MTV, Microsoft, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, the National Academy of Public Administration, Radiolab, Public Radio International, Migration Policy Institute, Area/Code, the AMD Foundation, the American Red Cross, the Red Cross/Red Crescent Climate Centre, the New York Public Library, and the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania.
