GSA @Digital Learning Day
Game Programming with Stencyl
We’re excited to help you ignite your students’ creativity through gaming and we think you’ll enjoy it just as much! By combining your student’s imaginations, our custom-created content and Stencyl, your class will be creating games that can be played nearly anywhere.
Stencyl is a drag-and-drop game designer that takes the fear out of coding, allowing your students to learn about variables by snapping gameplay blocks together to program new features or change other elements of the game!
This material has been real-world tested at 60 technology camps nationwide for youth ages 9-18 as part of the Geek Squad Summer Academy program and is one of our most popular classes. The lesson plans we’ve offered here provide step-by-step instructions to help guide you through classroom setup, gameplay demonstrations, several example variables and saving the game for later play on PC, Mac or anywhere else that accepts Adobe Flash!
