Georgia Tech, School of Interactive Computing |
|
Betsy James DiSalvo is a Ph.D. student in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology and works in the Electronic Learning Communities Lab with Dr. Amy Bruckman. DiSalvo’s current research project is Glitch Game Testers. This work is focused on understanding the role that video games play in urban African American male culture. Glitch is a job program for high school students to become game testers, and to leverage that experience into computer science learning.
Before coming to Georgia Tech she was a research associate at the University of Pittsburgh Learning Research and Development Center (UPCLOSE) developing informal learning programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Related to these research interests, DiSalvo makes “stuff”, mostly art stuff, that uses technology, marketing strategies, and often food in installations at art venues. |
