To get them in the mood we themed the area with game design ideas on many of our screens, and had an arcade game soundtrack pumping from the speakers.Īfter a brief introduction to the ideas behind game design and a look at how games have evolved over the decades, it was time for the students to start work. Which is a bookable space in the College where students can work on Digital projects. We ran the Game Design Day in our new Digital Hub.
They would also need to learn how to code the characters and events. This tool would allow students to appreciate the game design experience, from creating a location and customising characters, to creating the story and rules for the game. As part of this, Year 5 students were to participate in a computer game design project.Īfter looking at several game design options, we chose to use Microsoft’s Kodu Game design lab. For this day all the Year groups in P – 6 would spend the day working on some kind of STEM project.
“Early last term the STEM team at Canterbury College Junior school decided to run a STEM day to occur in the last week of school. This is a guest blog from Mr James Jenkins, Director of Digital Pedagogy at Canterbury College, who has been using Kodu Game Lab with his students to create games on the Microsoft platform.
