a summer game design program and research project for and about autistic youth
Soft Chaos was chosen by a research group headed by Kristen Gillespie to collaborate with Tech Kids Unlimited to help improve on existing neurodiversity-affirming summer workshops for Autistic & AuDHD students.
Our role was to design and lead two thirteen-day workshops about game design, self-advocacy, and job skills for a group of around twenty autistic students with a broad range of ages and experiences, all while facilitating the collection of research data about the program and applying neurodiversity-affirming principles to our teaching practices.

This client work was performed by Soft Chaos Cooperative for Kristen Gillespie’s research group with funding from NSF.
