Mind the Gap Spanish version!

December 2024

A new version of Mind the Gap, a participant-authored role-playing game on gender roles and identities in STEM education and careers, is under development!

I have been working on this game with research partners, colleagues, and students to create a Spanish-language version at the Universitat Politècnica de València and VRAIN – Valencian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence.

We are exploring knowledge graphs and ontologies to gain more insights from the collective narratives produced by the game and we are also working on the Chinese-language version. More on this coming soon…
