Hi Josie,
That sounds like a really interesting project. At the Wikipedia Library, we have been thinking a lot about readerly literacy in Wikipedia (and hope to build a portal to expose people to research literacy information), and the age group that you are targeting these materials for, would be fairly good for a public audience as well. Will this work product/game based learning material have to be in an on-wiki format?
It would be awesome if we could distribute it more broadly, while keeping people on Wikipedia. I am thinking the game-architecture used for the The Wikipedia Adventure ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Adventure ) would allow for such a piece of information to be shared with members of the editing community and become a standard link on things like welcome templates.
Cheers,
Alex Stinson

For those of you who haven't seen it, Leicester City Council are currently tendering for a team to work on a short games based learning project with schools and 13/14 year olds, to create games to support Wikipedia use and engagement: http://www.sourceleicestershire.co.uk/contracts/show/id/12580 http://t.co/E7ZpK6LjOT
http://t.co/E7ZpK6LjOT Please do pass on to people you know who the work might suit. For those outside the UK, the outputs will of course all be shared under an open licence and I'll post an update to the list.
