- **Event Description**: Get to know Northeastern's Retro Mobile Gaming collection with an interactive workshop and guided tour! Part of Design Research Week 2026.About this EventThis event introduces workshop participants to the Retro Mobile Gaming Project and consists of two parts: an interactive workshop and a guided tour of the the Retro Mobile Gaming collection.We invite participants to explore the guiding rationale for this project: Designing a comprehensive resource that develops and preserves an yet-to-be-known history of mobile games. Presenters will outline a "playful" approach to uncovering this unknown history, which included building and iterating from a database as a minimum viable product, crowd-sourcing valuable but error-prone data, and learning to locate yet-to-be-known information through inference.Workshop attendees can anticipate learning strategies for how to design from a single, unrefined idea into a comprehensive and publicly-engaging resource. After experiencing the Retro Mobile Gaming Project and playing with gaming devices at the Center for Design, participants will be invited to a guided tour of the Retro Mobile Gaming collection at Snell Library, where they will be able to contribute their own ideas and creative approaches for future iterations of the project.This event is part of Design Research Week 2026.Speaker Bios:Ragan Glover is the Director of the Michigan Research and Discovery Scholars at the University of Michigan.
