Clover Gaming Connection

Indiana 4-H Clover Gaming Connection is hosting an Experience 4-H: Science of Games event for youth in grades 7-12. The event will be held on March 30th from 9am-3pm at 3 Locations across Indiana:

• North Location - Allen County - Purdue University Fort Wayne Campus
• Central Location - Hamilton County - Indiana IoT Lab Fishers, IN
• South Location - Jackson County - Seymour Ag Science and Research Farm Building Seymour, IN

The goal of Science of Games is to teach youth the STEM and Creativity in order to develop a game.

Through the exploration of various topics alongside hands-on-learning, youth will learn how to:

Define a Problem – engage in game mechanics/logic content

Brainstorm Solutions – choose a board game they want to develop utilizing game design principles

Test Solutions – prototype their game with peer feedback

Communicate Results – game development showcase at the end of the workshops

The aim of this event is to help reach youth who:

1) Have an interest in engineering and this is a new area to challenge/inspire them

2) Have an interest in creative arts and want to experience a context to expressing their creativity.

3) Have no experience in either creative arts or engineering, but want an opportunity to explore a new topic– that this event does not require youth to have previous knowledge of either topic.

Throughout the event, youth will learn science principles and explore creativity alongside application. Each youth will get to create their own board game to take home to continue their exploration of game design!

A $30 registration fee will be required for participation and lunch will be provided. Registration will close on March 22nd.

Registration is limited to 35 participants per location.

For youth to register, have parents/guardians visit:http://purdue.ag/CloverGamingConnection
