Brief description:
|
This case study covers a 3-hour workshop conducted in the context of the “Computing At school Festival 2019” in Heraklion, Crete, Greece. The Festival (www.digifest.info) is organized all over Greece and comprises several activities, including student presentations of their projects, workshops and lectures. The workshop was entitled “Make a Game (for) 2” and was targeted to groups consisting of one parent / adult and 1-2 children 9+ years old. Participants, were introduced (through creative activities and a lot of playing) to the basic elements and steps for designing a 2-player board game and designed their own game, while at the same time trained their soft skills and computational thinking. |
