Program Outline
The overall objective of the Game Design program is to teach students how to engage a specific audience based on their socio-economic attributes and interests through group games. Students will first be lead thru a brainstorming session on accurately determining what your client’s interests and attributes are. Then we explore the formal game design template to determine what factors we must look at to help determine what location, 6 timeframe, materials, etc. they have at their disposal to create this game. Then we play a large interactive group game. Following the game, we debrief how to assess the successfulness of the program and go through client evaluation design to gather formal assessment information.
