Using CodeCombat as an example, Charlotte talks about the benefits of using games as a platform for teaching and learning and how games help students take part in their own learning process. She then discusses how these same concepts and principles can also be used with programming teams at companies to help developers build strong & collaborative relationships as well as to learn new libraries, tools, and technologies.
