Opening Keynote

Crossing the Rift - Using the Games we Play to Teach what Matters
Justin Matheson

Justin Matheson is an educator, learning strategist, and game-based learning consultant with over a decade of experience helping learners and institutions rethink the classroom. As the founder of the SPARK Lab—an innovative game-based learning lab housed in a post-secondary institution—Justin has developed and delivered immersive learning experiences using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) games like Portal 2, Overcooked 2, and Rocket League to teach essential skills such as communication, collaboration, and critical thinking.

His work has impacted hundreds of students across multiple disciplines, and he regularly consults with educators and organizations looking to integrate game-based learning into their training, curriculum, and outreach initiatives. At the intersection of education, play, and performance, Justin’s method is as pragmatic as it is playful—helping institutions and businesses unlock the full potential of modern learners through the games they already love.
