Register for Sisler IDM’s\u00a0third annual G3 ‘Game On’ educational event<\/h2>\n

Please note that teachers must submit team entries!<\/h3>\n

Game On is Sisler High School\u2019s annual game conference where students can learn from industry experts and build a game.\u00a0 This year\u2019s conference is a two-day event.\u00a0 The first day will consist of student workshop led by industry experts where students will learn different skills to create a game.\u00a0 On the second day students (grade 6-8) will create their own game and learn 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills such as collaborating, critical thinking, communication, and creativity. \u00a0Students in grades 9-12 will demonstrate a game or app they have worked on over the past year in a “Game Demo Fair” and be judged by industry.
\nThese skills have always been important for students, and now in the 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century these skills are now more essential than ever. Students need to think deeply, solve problems creatively, work in teams, communicate clearly, and learn new technologies as they create their game.<\/p>\n
