Board Game Design Social Club
Design Board Games, RPG's, Video Games or want to? Join us for some conversation around game design! In this co-created space, we explore game design theory and support each other's creative adventures.
Class Experience
This social club is a creative adventure in exploring both the games we love and what we love about them. Learners will discuss their game design ideas and challenges. Meeting weekly is a great incentive to stay the course in design work. Games take a long time to develop, so it's good to have that check in with other designers. I will present a brief topic at the beginning of each class, it might be a concept, it might be something interesting about game design that I've come across this...
- Social Connection around a specific subject.
- Presentation skills in explaining our projects.
- Listening skills and learning how to give and receive feedback constructively.

PBL or Project Based Learning allows us to incorporate all sorts of learning in one fun bundle of exploration.
We are a Neuroaffirming Organization! We support learners with different needs and meet them where they are at. We are experienced scribes and enjoy exploring different approaches to writing and creating for each learner.
