Have you ever wanted to create a game for your classroom and didn’t know where to start? Join us and you’ll see how easy and quick it is to create an educational game in one hour.
This session is split into two parts. To complete Level 1, you will engage with an interactive online game to learn about the different gaming frameworks and how they align with each other. It will take roughly 20 minutes to complete and it is highly recommended to complete this before joining us for Level 2 at the event. You will receive access to the game module after registering for this session. Upon successful completion of Level 1 you will be presented with the ability to claim the Game Design Hero Level 1 digital badge!
Level 2 will be a 1-1.5 hour face to face session on June 12. We will work together in small groups and follow The Art of Serious Game Design methodology developed by a team from Ryerson University, George Brown College and Centennial College. The face to face session invites participants to:
- Brainstorm ideas for a game with a group using prompts.
- Create a paper prototype of a game for your learners.
- Identify next steps to develop your game
Upon successful completion of Level 2 you will be presented with the ability to claim the Game Design Hero Level 2 digital badge and will have earned the official title of Game Design Hero!
