Designing and developing digital game design (in class online hui)

These on-line hui are for both ākonga and kaiako to join in on. Set up a time during class hours and jump online with Dan to learn how to get started with game design.

You can plug your class in and pop Dan up on the big screen, then sit back and relax while your students learn about game design. 

These sessions are best suited for Years 5-13. However, feel free to flick us an email if you have any questions regarding the sessions on admin@impacted.co.nz

​

If you have questions for Dan before the session, or your students have particular features they want to know about, ask us in the form when you register so we can be prepared.

Using game design across the curriculum.

Teachers are welcome to bring 2 students to these workshops. 

Year 5-13 Canterbury kaiako are invited to join us for a one or two day workshop to build confidence in using game design in the New Zealand curriculum alive. 

​

The workshops are for anyone from beginner to advanced, using digital technologies.

​

Come along to hear of how we can engage students using the fundamentals of game design, and help them to tell their local stories, and stories about them that they can share with the world. 

You will learn about the fundamentals of game design and how this links to the wider curriculum. We will look at the Digital Technologies curriculum content, and how game design links to DDDO and CTDT.

Kaiko will come away with a robust plan to integrate this into teaching and learning.

There will be time to have a play, design your first game, and also plan for this in the classroom.

Kai provided.
