Please feel free to request a time/day  

This class will use  Timberborn which is available through Steam. Timberborn is set in a future where humanity is no longer around  and beavers have evolved to be quite clever but they need your help. 

The aim of the game is to keep the beavers alive though various challenges. They will need to survive droughts, have enough food to eat, houses to live in, power, factories to produce goods and deal with pollution. All this means you will need to manage your resources by growing forests, planting crops, constructing dams and building workshops. But beware if you beavers don't have enough food or water they will not survive! But do it right and your beavers will flourish and live in a fantastic city. 

I will be screensharing  the game as I play it and students can also do the same (they will need to play the game on the same device as the camera to do this). I will also encourage students to discuss ideas on building  a settlement and help with any tips on playing the game.

Timberborn can be easy or difficult (depending on students skill and game settings) and is ideal for anyone interested in city management and solving  problems through engineering or resource management. Also the beavers are very cute!

This is only a small class so there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions and to help each other. A student can join at anytime and no  experience of the game is needed.
