Welcome to the MyHealthyLife Rethink Wiki
Rethink is proud to immerse its Rethinkers, for the first time, in an experience about making web-games about issues they care about. This innovative program is a collaboration between The Rethinkers Youth Organization in New Orleans and the World Wide Workshop Foundation in New York City, and it's delivered on the MyHLife Game Design Network, Wiki, Blog, and other Web 2.0 media technology and tools.
Message for 2008 Rethinkers
Check out the The Rethinkers Game Project - The Ultimate Lunch Tray
And the New York Intern's Game Project - Fix it with Food
We are role models for our community as we become makers of interactive games. We share our knowledge and experiences through our wiki pages, photos, and designs. We are learning together, for the first time, how to design and build an original game about eating healthier food in school!
Hey - We all want our cafeterias to be MUCH better and more fun places for New Orleans students!
This wiki is our space for collaborating and working together "virtually" on the assignments and games that we conceive, develop, and present on MyHLife.org -- and later, at the Big News Conference and celebration at the end of summer camp!
Have Fun! (It's Hard Fun)
During the MyHLife Game Design Course, we will:
1. Utilize MyHLife Game Design StarterKit Website, with all its Resources, Tutorials, and Game Examples.
2. Use this course Blog to review games and other topics of interest to the community.
3. Collaborate by using this space, our community Wiki, and Group Forum.
4. Publish our Flash games on the MyHLife StarterKit website as other communities have done.
