Title

Who Wants To Be An Astronomaire?-The Game

Abstract

You have all probably seen the game "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" on television and have been drawn into the hot seat from your easy chair. Games like this one are popular among the public as entertainment, but they can also be educational. A game developed at the University of Central Florida (UCF) for large (>300) classes is used as a fun learning and assessment tool to establish who has enough wealth of astronomy knowledge to be labeled a Top Gamer. The pace is fast, hand-eye coordination is demanded, and instantaneous reasoning for easy questions and patience for more difficult questions are necessities, as is a long-term strategy.
