Gitch游戏测试员是一个研究项目，旨在开发一个可持续的高中就业计划，以培训和雇用高中生作为游戏测试员[1]。我们的目标是利用年轻的城市非裔美国男性对视频游戏的热情，将其转化为拥有技术的经纪公司。第一步是鼓励这些年轻人看到数字游戏背后的计算，第二步是提供情景计算课程[2]。在这篇文章中，我们将介绍对年轻的非裔美国人的游戏实践的形成性工作的发现，介绍毛刺游戏测试者项目，并报告来自研讨会的初步发现。通过研究游戏实践中种族和性别的交集，我们开发出了专门满足年轻非裔美国男性文化需求的小故障。
Glitch Game Testers is a research project to develop a sustainable high school job program to train and employ high school students as game testers [1]. Our goal is to leverage the passion that young urban African American men have for video games into agency with technology. The first step is to encourage these young people to see the computation behind digital games and the second step is to offer a contextualized computing curriculum [2]. In this paper, we will present findings from formative work on the play practices of young African American men, introduce the Glitch Game Testers project, and report on preliminary findings from workshops. By looking at the intersection of race and gender in gaming practices, we have developed Glitch to specifically meet the cultural needs for young African American men.
