SUMMARY:Game Design Challenge - Closing Ceremony Presentation
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for the Closing Ceremony of the “Games for All” Game Design Challenge! The Game Design Challenge empowered K-12 students to create their own video game through a collaborative\, creative and critical thinking journey. \nThe virtual experience consisted of four lessons and five presentations to empower students on their game design journey. The goal of the theme was for all participants to create a video game that cultivates inclusion among players in a collaborative way. Dell\, along with Legends of Learning and IGDA\, firmly believes in equity within our communities\, and that technology (including video games!) is a way to bridge the gaps between people of different genders\, cultures\, orientations\, socioeconomic statuses\, and abilities. \nAll sessions will be taking place on Twitch\, a live-streaming service used frequently in the gaming community. All sessions will take place using the same link (provided post-registration)\, but in order to engage in chat\, you will need to sign up for an account in advance. To learn more\, visit twitch.tv. \nThe recording will be available on YouTube on 13 May. \nRegister Today!
