THE PROJECT:
Students have designed prototypes for a new game derived from the Apple curriculum, Everyone can Create. The games are decision-making games, which required students to develop a narrative around a character or in the midst of a natural disaster. Working with Apple and google software, each group of students was responsible for designing and illustrating characters using the program, Procreate, Planning event sequences, where their characters were faced with real life situations where wise decisions had to be made to ensure their safety. Each project pushed student’s critical thinking, as well as their ability to plan, organize and solve complex problems as a collaborative group.
