iThrive Games Information

iThrive Games is a part of The History Co:Lab, an intergenerational impact-driven collective that co-creates learning experiences and catalyzes communities with and for young people so they all can thrive in their roles as makers of our shared history. iThrive Games runs The History Co: Lab’s Creation Co:Lab. There, we lead the design of accessible games, tools, and experiences that advance young people’s learning, protect and promote their well-being, and support their civic engagement. Our team of adolescent development and mental health experts builds on 30+ years of combined instructional and game design experience to create compelling and accessible games, tools, and programs that nurture young people’s genius by folding in social and emotional skill-building—a practice proven to nourish mental health and learning. Our clients also see the brilliance in young people and trust us to help them design experiences that amplify it, relying on our expertise to help them manage the process from start to finish. The science behind what works best for young people’s learning and mental health guides decision-making throughout as we weave in our network of thought leaders, developers, and teen co-designers who lend their wisdom to the creation process. We make our clients’ commitment to supporting positive outcomes in teens a throughline in the planning, design, development, and testing of games, tools, and experiences intended to meaningfully and successfully engage young people. Together, with our network of clients, partners, and teens, we are accelerating progress toward a world where young people feel seen, heard, productively challenged, and supported and have accessible learning and mental health-supporting tools and experiences.
