MADE Classroom: Game Critique for Kids

Did you know that you can learn interactive design by playing video games? We teach kids how in this short 1.5 hour long workshop! 8 to 13.

This class is a 1.5 hour lesson that teaches students how to critically assess effective interactive design techniques through a critical analysis of video games. Video game techniques can provide inspiration across domains outside of video game development, enabling students to more consciously/actively engage with digital entertainment and use prior work to hone interactive design skills.

Students will learn how to

• Develop a process for critical analysis of video games

• Use their knowledge to design their own engaging interactive experiences

• Present interactive design research to peers
