About this Class

Dear Parents and Students,

 

Welcome to Intro to Game Design class. In this class students will be doing coding, graphic design, animation, 3D Printing, architecture design, 3D sculping, and be exposed to other design and coding websites.  The emphasis of the course will be on getting the students exposed to a STEAM curriculum with the Project STEM and FUSE studio programs. STEAM represents Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. All students will be learning new technologies with new projects implemented within the course. 

 

I am currently involved with Project STEM, which is sponsored by Amazon, and provides an amazing curriculum. I have received a grant from the Mazda Foundation through the FUSE Studio Program, and we now have two 3D printers in the classroom. FUSE studio also provides a curriculum with 32 challenges that will exposed students to various projects dealing with 3D printing, engineering, coding, and architecture design. The lessons provided by these curricula will build a strong Computer Science foundation, focusing on different technologies, and encouraging a better understanding of product development, game creation, animation in movies, and other technologies. 

 

Upon completion of the Intro to Game Design class, the ultimate goal is for all students to experience Computer Science in the Tech World and enter a field they are interested in at the High School level. 

Sincerely,

 

Mr. Lopez
