RDS GAME PROJECT

Inspiring the next generation to harness data for good through fun, interactive learning

Our Responsible Data Science (RDS) Video Game will be a captivating, educational experience designed for players ages 10-18. While it has the allure of a wizard world where “magical” data science reigns, this isn't just a game; it's an adventure that ignites excitement about the boundless possibilities for data and AI in our modern society. We envision it being used in classrooms and museums, inspiring young students to dream big while upholding responsible data practices.

With the help of our interns and volunteers, we completed our low-fidelity wireframes in August 2024, and we plan to release an alpha demo by the end of the year. With your donation, we’re able to fund our internship program, giving future data and tech leaders meaningful, hands-on opportunities like this.

Apply as a DSA Volunteer

Whether you have experience with video game development or you know how to bring design ideas to life, your valuable insight is greatly appreciated. This project will inspire future generations of data leaders—let us know how you’d like to contribute to its progress!
