the art of rapid game design and develop an
understanding of underlying game mechanics.
Students can choose from 20 different game
characters including flying saucers, submarines,
and a Pac-Man-like Kodu character then use
an interactive terrain editor, a bridge and path
builder, and other tools to create their 3D game
world. Kodu is available as a free download for

What’s the next adventure for Spiderman? You
decide! We will create our own Spiderman™
movie using special movie making cameras and
software. As directors and producers we will
work in teams to create our own story and script,
build scenes out of Lego®, use Spiderman mini
figures as characters and film our own movie.
We will use graphic editing techniques and
stop motion animation, add background noise
and music, and show our movie at a private
screening on the last day of class. Students
will also receive a copy of their movie after it is
complete. Instructor: Computer Explorers Staff. (EB)
