Every summer at the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab, students from Singapore and the US work with GAMBIT researchers and development teams on novel game concepts, and visiting researchers spend that time research gaming related topics across a variety of fields. Back on July 6th, 2011, we drew back the curtains in the middle of the summer to provide insights into our current game development and research activities during the inaugural GAMBIT Summer Summit. Part One of this ten part weekly series begins with an opening message from GAMBIT's US Executive Director, Philip Tan who then introduces Scot Osterweil from the Education Arcade. He begins our summit with the keynote "Educational Games: Stop Being Serious".
