Are there other Game / Programming teachers that would like to collaborate on Unity projects?
I have listened to gobs of Alan November presentations and have thought about this type of idea for a while now.
I teach Game Development to 11th and 12th graders at a “Career Center” in Jackson, Michigan.
The first third of my school year pertains to Unity3D, so I am already partially done with it for this year. But, that is ok. I am covering 2D right now until Oct 22nd and then 3D until Dec 3rd. The other two-thirds of the year entail Mobile App creation, XNA, and Modding (with UDK and Source).
My ideas:
Teams (my kids and your kids) work together to make a 2D or 3D game. The focus would be on communication and teamwork. It can be as small or large as we want. I would say start small and build.
It would be nice to either have a collaboration with college students or kids from another country. But anything would be great!
thanks,
Steve
