This is a Learn and Play Style Class! Students will learn the basics of Game Development while actively using the skills and terms they've just learned to create their own version of a racing game. Self Expression & Group Communication are highly encouraged and students in groups will be encouraged to give positive and constructive feedback to other learners while learning to improve their own skills all while enjoying the games they all created during the workshops. I bring high energy, fun, and focus to all of my classrooms and ask that all students are attentive and eager to learn, ask questions, and explore the career aspects of STEM, Gaming, and Esports.
