Concluded Rebel Ready Week by hosting round 2 of my identity exploration with TTRPGs and safety tools workshop; students loved the Katie gif, and they were all so wonderful and lovely! And then a second escape room for a grand finale. I love getting to create spaces where nerds can find each other.

Rebel Ready Week is one of my favorite weeks of the year. I get to do the kind of instruction and programming that brings me so much joy (largely bringing nerds together). Today was Locked in the Library, an escape room experience, and Game Changer: Libraries Edition, and it was so wonderful.
A screen says Locked in the Library in neon; in front is a table with six envelopes, black lights, and a single locked box. Amber, with short blue hair, smiles in front of a screen that says “Game Changer Libraries Edition!” Photo of a classroom where students sit in an audience. At the front of the room is a table with three contestants, where an assistant sprinkles confetti over them.

In Visby to listen to a bunch of great folks chat about using games in teaching. And very briefly chatting myself about a workshop I’m doing in the fall.

Teaching another game design and prototyping session in the MakerSpace!
Slide with the word design and class instructions. Desk cluttered with MakerSpace projects (stickers, 3D printed objects, heat press examples) in the foreground.

I never get so many compliments from students than when I wear swords.
Screenshot of text: P.S. - Your sword earrings were so cool! Amber, white woman with blue pixie cut, sits in front of a projector screen with a hobbit hole on it, wearing sword earrings and a white knit sweater.

Played game show host today for our first-year students and had a blast. Librarians… we’ve been here the whole time!
