What You Should Expect Each week we will talk about different aspects of what goes into running a video game stream. Hardware and software troubleshooting and compatibility testing are expected to take a significant amount of time, especially as clubs start. At the same time, students get more comfortable with how their workflows work. Teaching Material and Style My clubs are intentionally less structured than most of my standard camps or classes. I do start each class with several related topics of conversation prepared like the latest gaming industry news or new release dates or rumors. Rather than having to cover the set curriculum, I guide the discussion through related topics. What I Expect Students who sign up for this class are enthusiastic about video games and have a way to stream content to a streaming platform. Students that have the best experience in the club environment are the ones that will talk and engage in subjects as they come up. Because this is learner-driven and designed to be a more social experience, working cameras and mics are recommended but not necessarily required.
Learning Goals
The learning goal from this club is to give students something to look forward to that can be social while still letting them learn something about game development, the games industry, and being a streamer.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Streaming is a big deal for students right now. While it can be done from mobile or console directly to various platforms, I will be discussing it from the perspective of streaming PC gameplay directly or console gameplay connected to a PC with a capture card.
Supply List
Students should have access to a computer capable of streaming (PC or Mac) or a console connected to a computer with a capture card. For the best experience be sure to join the associated group that I offer here on Outschool.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Grace College
I have been a gamer for most of my life, and it was partly from the desire to expand my gaming that I built my first computer when I was 12 and never really looked back. I have been highly immersed in technology and how computers work during my 20 years as a video editor. I find great joy in explaining complicated things to my boys as they grow up in our technologically saturated culture.
