Introduction to Game Design and Science Engineering Olympiads Combo 7/11-7/15/16
Morning Program: Introduction to Game Design
The workshop is designed to provide the beginning skills to developing games. We will cover aspects including planning, managing files, images, strategies, navigation, programming and more. The student will use these concepts and skills, combined with their artistic vision to create at least two sample games. The instructors will be given access to resources to help them succeed including Internet links, materials, plans, guidelines and access to professionals who can answer questions.
Afternoon Program: Science Engineering Olympiads
In today's ever technologically advanced world, we are living at the speed of Science and we need to educate our students to be scientifically literate, ready to ask questions to problems, investigate and analyze data, construct explanations & design solutions in order for them to take on the future. As many schools around NJ are getting ready to adopt the new science standards called Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). We here at WPUNJ would like students to have first-hand experiences with the new standards and we are ready for the challenge! The Next Generation Science Standards gives students the opportunity to utilize the engineering design challenge. Students are presented a problem and it is their job to figure out a solution.
Science Engineering Olympiads program does much more than test factual knowledge; participants are also engaged in problem solving, laboratory investigations and hands-on activities such as designing and testing mouse trap vehicles, bridges and egg-carrying rockets. Science Engineering Olympiads provides a wealth of learning opportunities throughout the year. Preparing to compete in the various events also provides a vehicle for students to form new friendships and bond as a cohesive team. Science Engineering Olympiads functions much like a sports team. The Science Olympiad models the friendly competitive spirit that drives scientific research. It provides an opportunity to demonstrate skills, knowledge and to interact with others who have similar interests.
