Athens kids got Game
It’s the last day to donate to help out the new locally organized GameCamp! Athens. Here’s the lowdown:
This is a children’s camp set to be launched this month at the University of Georgia (exclamation point is intentional, btw!). GameCamp! is part of a proven program in Texas and Louisiana that teaches participants about video game design, helping them gain 21st century skills in the process. The kids will be designing games based on social issues to help give their work further relevance to the world around them.
Teaching kids mad skills by way of video game design? And with social issues to boot? BRILLIANT!
We’ll be running a story on this written by April Moore Skelton shortly.
