Deep Dive - Press Start for Deeper Learning: A hands-on lab for game-based teaching and learning
Friday July 3, 2026 9:00am - 11:30am PDT
Imagine High - Room 209/Woodshop 178
Don't learn about the French Revolution, live it! In this hands-on, game development-focused deep dive, participants will learn about the power of video games in the classroom by creating their own. They will engage in the disciplines of programming, media arts, and carpentry, all while hearing about practical applications and anecdotes from real classrooms. Engage in discussion and explore examples of how this medium can be used to extend learning in any classroom.
