Will Wright Delivers Fascinating Talk About Video Games, Education

If you’ve ever seen Will Wright, the big brain behind games like The Sims, Spore and SimCity, deliver one of his humorous, hypnotising talks, you’re probably going to want to settle in and watch this one too. If you’ve never had the good fortune to be assaulted by Will Wright’s smarts, well, you’re in luck.

Earlier this year, Wright spoke at the Summit on Science, Entertainment and Education, tying together a ton of ideas, anecdotes and thoughts on games, toys, science and a bazillion other things and how they might relate to education. He’ll talk about video games and his own experience in development in this roughly 20 minute talk, but he’ll also blow your mind in other ways.

If you’ve got the time to spare to hear Will do his thing, watch the above recording of his Summit speech.
