Lucy Mandyczewsky will present:
Introduction to GameMaker

Children love playing computer games, whether they’re pac man, maze or ball types. They will be keen to make their own variations of games they know! While they are making their own games, students are also collaborating, problem solving and using higher order thinking skills.

In this presentation, Lucy will take you through the basics of Game Maker – drawing on the experiences she has had with running classes for primary students.

Use the time to learn, discuss, collaborate or just get enthused about the opportunities to use Game Maker in your class!

This is a BYO Computer workshop. Please install GameMaker on your notebook computer before coming to the Conference.
