What knowledge do YOU want to share with the world?

I believe most people are interesting and the surest way to prove it is to ask someone what they would like more of the world to know. This usually brings up issues that are near to their heart.

• A promoter for mixed martial arts fighters said he wanted more young people, girls and boys, to learn about martial arts and not just the physical aspect but the history and traditions.
• A professor from a small college town wanted students to learn about the history and geography of their area, which was far more interesting than students knew.
• Middle school students from two Dakota reservations said, “That we are still here.” That one hit my heart so much that we made the game Making Camp Dakota with a group of students.

Everyone has knowledge they want to share

How we fell into making customized games is a story for another day, but once we got started we found out that everyone has knowledge they want to share, whether it is the Lakota language, how wool makes it from the sheep to your sweater or how to interpret bar graphs.

The problem with sharing that knowledge, I hate to say, is that often people know too much.
