Make a Game Workshop

10 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. – Tuesday, Eastern Time

Beginner Skill Level 

Instructor:
Chris (Wombat) Crowell
Game Design Faculty Member at Sheridan College, 
Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada

In this 6 hour workshop, Chris will take self-formed teams of educators and company training personnel through his proven process of making a game from a curriculum concept of their choice. 

As the teams collaboratively create a new game prototype, lively discussion during each development stage will inform their decisions about resources, game design and player experience, providing an understanding of the key elements in a serious game framework. 

During the process, attendees learn how to figure out WHAT to build by discussing together the process and game theory.  By the end of the day, they will have experiential learning about creating an experiential learning experience; it’s like some kind of “Experience-ception”! 

Attendees also come away with an ‘ugly paper prototype’ that they can take back to their classrooms or companies or software support team for further development. 

Outcomes:

• Ugly playable game prototype that can be taken back to classroom for further development.
• Understanding of, and experience with, a proven process of developing a concept into a game.
• Confidence to personally develop, or lead students in developing, educational games that are engaging and effective.
• Knowledge that games are not only fun to play; they are fun to create!

No coding required, tech knowledge is not a blocker. Your game prototypes will be in the form of rules, graphics, and art that your team creates in a collaborative space on Google Drive.
