Games Done Quick

Have you ever played a video game and said to yourself, “I really wish I could enjoy that game again as much as the first time I played it”? Well, now you can through the magic of speedrunning! Speedrunners seek to optimize gameplay for a video game to its peak, aiming to beat the game as quickly as possible under a certain set of conditions. In 10 weeks we will learn together how to speedrun, focusing on the 1994 masterpiece Super Metroid. In doing so, we will learn how to apply the scientific method to video games (and, by extension, to everyday life), how to work together as a community, and how to develop resilience and fortitude by learning through failure. It’s competitive video gaming in a way you’ve never experienced it before! Dispositions: Perseverance, Community Engagement
