 * CS12. Aaron Dilday & Doug Walker ** – (History & Games Panel) //Golden Horizon: Empires of Trade in the Indian Ocean//

We intend to demonstrate that our board game, Golden Horizon, is an effective classroom teaching tool for understanding the interconnectivity of world history. Golden Horizon exploits creative play, strategic thinking, and imaginative competitive engagement in order to successfully impart interdisciplinary knowledge of world history, economics, geography, and international politics.
