Come to the DLC Design Space to learn about a few educational games that have been newly acquired by the Library! One such game is “The Empathy Toy.” Though initially designed to help bridge conversational gaps between the visually impaired and the sighted, The Empathy Toy has morphed into a toy/tool that is being used in innovation and design labs in universities and corporations across the country. Games created for The Empathy Toy reveal the relationship between empathy, creativity, play, and learning in the 21st century.
