[Year 12 IT Apps] game development roadshow [Scanned] [Spam score:8%]

'They appear to have had a big impact in ACT and NSW' -- Is that true or is it part of the hype?

Hi Folks,

This group was on the phone to me today trying to push their product.

They seem genuine and appear to have had a big impact in NSW & ACT.

They are in Melbourne early next term - too early for us to get involved at this stage but they seemed interesting in investigating another trip to Melbourne around ICT Week.

$45 is a bit steep, but they claim to offer $3000 plus game development software for for each student. I'll investigate further when they come next term as we don't currently offer any game development options.

Does anyone out there know about this company? They give you the posters and the kids fork out about $45 and get games software kits. They come to the individual school.

Commercial Game Development Roadshow which will be presenting to Melbourne schools in Term 2.
