Making Games with CCC4Kids at St. Helens School, Ipswich.

Working with St. Helens school in Ipswich I was able to turn 9 kids, 6 girls and 3 boys aged 7 to 11 in to game designers over the course of six weeks. We went through the history of video games, digital illustration, box cover art and pitching the three teams games and demoed them to the parents at the end.

I am very pleased at how they all turned out and I think they did a really good job. They as always were great kids to work with and I hope a few of them go on to make games in the future.

I am truly pleased to announce that YoYo Games have sponsored the club by providing copies of their amazing Game Maker and Game Maker HTML5 software. Having access to this excellent software not only means we can make great games but share them with the world. Thank you so much to all the staff at YoYo Games for making this possible.

We are also very pleased to announce that O'Reilly have offered assistance by way of some of their instructional books you can check out their full catalog of books here. O'Reilly have a great reputation with things like the Maker Faire (they also run a Maker Faire in the UK too) so we are truly grateful for their help and support through their excellent resources.

It is a huge honor to have the support of Young Rewired State not only do they run amazing events to encourage young people to code and hack data for good, they were in part inspiration for me to set up this group. The fun and the comradery of the events that I have worked with them at have been of amazing benefit to all those involved. I sincerely thank Young Rewired State not only for helping fund us but also for simply being Young Rewired State.
