Just as (Ret.) U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's Our Courts program uses computer games to teach middle-school students about government, Kornhauser's program involves students in ASU's School of Computing and Informatics creating interactive game designs, tax-related videos and contests about taxes.</p><separator></separator><p>"People don't understand taxes," she said.
