(I had already booked at the time of the thread so kept quiet)</div><div><br></div><div>All of the students were impressed. </div><div>Year 7s enjoyed and followed and asked good questions.</div><div>Year 10s and 11s were very impressed and asked probing questions</div><div>The girls in attendance asked questions indicating deep thought and strong interest</div><div><br></div><div>All of the senior students would recommend it to their friends (have not caught up with year 7 opinion yet)</div><div><br></div><div>I enjoyed it (and I am not a gamer, nor do I enjoy games. I am a coder programmer designer do-er type. )</div><div><br></div><div>The presenter answered questions and packed a lot into two hours. It was intense and fun.</div><div>The Design part I followed and the coding part I liked - I can see that is where some of my students will need support over the next few months as they move into doing games - maybe some will even get to the point of selling their games.</div><div><br></div><div>Feel free to contact me off list (<a href="mailto:shortell@get2me.net">shortell@get2me.net</a> or <a href="mailto:ashortell@crcmelton.catholic.edu.au">ashortell@crcmelton.catholic.edu.au</a>)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>At the time of the earlier thread I felt it would be good to post my opinion after the event - so now I have.</div><div><br></div><div>Enjoy</div><div><br></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
