Designing Futures with Games: Game-Framed Math & Science as a Pathway to Multimedia Technology Careers
The Game-Framed Math & Science (G-FMS) initiative aims to increase students’ understanding of STEM-based subjects at Eugenio María de Hostos Community College CUNY by framing math and science within the context of game design and game play. Funded by the National Science Foundation’s Advanced Technological Education Grant and Hostos Community College CUNY.
Eugenio María de Hostos Community College, part of The City University of New York (CUNY) system, was founded in 1968. In four decades, Hostos has grown from a class of 623 in the fall of 1970, to over 7,000 students in the spring of 2012.
The G-FMS initiative is supported by a talented team of educators and research staff excited to redesign current STEM curricula in the context of game design and game play!
Games for learning is an area of growth in education and social action circles. Find out more about G-FMS discoveries and games for learning in the news in our Game News blog.

The opportunity for faculty and students to share in new teaching, learning, and research approaches will definitely motivate and create new circles of learning across mathematics and science areas.
