My Project

At our school, the most common answer on career interest survey is game design. These computers would be the first installment into a gaming lab that we are building in our library.

Our students will learn to code, design games, and how to create digital art.

Additionally, we will be putting a team together to start competing in the various scholastic gaming competitions. Our hope is to enter the NYC Minecraft competition next year. We would also like to use these computers to expand our stop-motion animation lab and podcast club.
