About 1,000 middle and high school students in Los Angeles are expected to design video games this school year that expose players to the importance of kindness, wildlife conservation or news literacy. The best student gamemakers could earn scholarships and other prizes. With the gaming effort, it recruited Riot Games, the Los Angeles company behind the hit computer game "League of Legends," to host participants on upcoming field trips.
