[game_edu] Prototyping/Playtesting groups?

[Bill Whetsel]

Hello Ian,

We have a student Game Design Group at Cuyahoga Community College.
Students collaborate and play test both digital and tabletop games.

It's been very valuable to give students an opportunity to spend more time
getting hands on with commercial and student designed games.
It's also been great for building camaraderie and community around the Game
Design program at our College.
