[Air-L] Larp about technology?

[Jodi Schneider]

Reacting to the Past is a collective that designs roleplaying games for
history classrooms:

Their materials and process have been refined over decades, resulting in
several published books (with games that have been extensively play tested).

Also look at their games in development. For example, Rage Against the
Machine: Technology, Rebellion, and the Industrial Revolution might be
adaptable for your purposes:

Games at earlier stages are also on the 'big list of reacting games' --
several touch technology, broadly construed (e.g. physics, photography,
etc.):

They also provide game development resources:
