My Project
My students are bursting with curiosity and creativity! They love to ask questions and delve into new topics. This project fuels that passion by offering engaging resources on science, technology, and video game design.
"The Way Things Work" will ignite their fascination with how the world functions, while "The Manga Guide to..." series uses a captivating comic format to introduce complex subjects like databases, electricity, cryptography, and microprocessors.
These visual guides will make these concepts more accessible and fun to learn.
For students with a passion for video games, "Video Game Storytelling" and "Level Up!" will provide a roadmap for crafting engaging narratives and designing compelling games. "Theory of Fun for Game Design" will take them deeper, helping them understand the core principles that make games enjoyable.
This project aims to empower students to not just consume technology, but to understand and potentially create it. They'll gain valuable knowledge about science and technology, while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills through game design.
What makes my students truly special is their boundless enthusiasm and willingness to learn. This project provides the tools to nurture their curiosity and guide them on a journey of discovery in science, technology, and the exciting world of video game design.
