This course offers an overview of the different aspects that involves video game development and learning: the skills that can be developed, the connections to the STEAM industry (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), and how they can be used as an ally in the classroom. It also offers practical lessons on how to get started with students and how to develop a game. It is designed to empower teachers with new ways of teaching using digital technologies, and no previous experience with video games or game design is required. The course is built on the pillars of a Gender Transformative Education, and uses the concept of Playing, Learning, Earning, where students are given the opportunity to move from just playing to learning skills and earning a passport to a future career.
