Sprint3

Creating a game for N@tM

Part of the process of becoming technically proficient is going beyond fundamentals by taking on a project challenge while coding. A challenge with some vision, questions, AI research, and more allow amazing things to be accomplished. Our goal is to participate in N@tM with the other CS classes and other classes from the Electives Department. We should have a blog, progress in a game, and a series of lesson hacks to show off.

Sprint4

Ideating, Tinkering, Building and OOP

Explore the OCS GameEngine—a platform designed to make learning computer science both fun and accesible. You will work collaboratively, build games, and apply key programming concepts in a creative, team-based environment.
