You will embark on a creative journey to design and develop your own interactive video game, focusing on combining visuals, sound, and interactivity to engage players. This project offers a hands-on experience that integrates computer science standards with personal expression and collaborative teamwork. By iteratively refining your work through peer feedback and professional insights, you'll deepen your skills in programming, art, and music composition, ultimately creating a polished game ready for exhibition.

Develop a unique video game by integrating skills in programming, art, music, and game design, while creating an engaging, interactive player experience. Collaborate with peers to refine your project through regular critique sessions, applying feedback for continuous improvement. Practice effective communication by presenting your process and final product to a wider audience, demonstrating how you've addressed challenges and capitalized on accomplishments. Engage in reflective practice to identify personal learning growth and explore innovative problem-solving approaches throughout the game's development.

Design and develop a fully playable video game that demonstrates your skills in programming, art, music, and game design. Collaborate with peers for ongoing feedback and iteration to refine your creation. Document your process through a video presentation that highlights your design journey. Prepare your game for a final exhibition to showcase your work to an audience, including friends and community partners.

Begin with an interactive session featuring a guest speaker from the comic-con museum who designs board games. This professional will demonstrate how core elements like visuals, sound, and interactivity form the backbone of engaging games. Follow this with a brainstorming activity where you outline initial ideas for your video game concept, encouraging you to think critically and creatively about your project's direction while fostering collaboration within the group.

Organize an end-of-project showcase where the playable video game is presented to friends, family, and visitors. Set up interactive stations for attendees to experience the game and provide feedback. Enhance the exhibition by creating a behind-the-scenes video or presentation that outlines your design and development journey. Ensure all attendees have a chance to engage with all elements of your project, including visuals, sound, and gameplay mechanics.
