My Project

Students in my senior English Game Design course, as well as in my after school creative gaming club, need access to more titles and options as they explore the world of game design. These materials will help students in so many ways. From social and emotional connections we create each week during our club meetings to gaining a greater understanding of design principles and mechanisms in our course, this will enrich the academic and social lives of these children. Whether through gaming in our club or working to design their own game prototype in class, the knowledge they gain and the friendships they make enrich their lives on so many levels.
