SXSWedu Limited Attendance Pre Conference Workshop
Sponsored by AMD

The AMD Game On workshop will be a purposeful daylong program to promote the use of youth game development as a tool to inspire learning and improve science, technology, education, and math (STEM) skills.

The day will run from 8:30am - 5:00pm on March 5 at the Hilton Austin Downtown and feature hands-on, BYOT workshop sessions that promote educational game making. With the help of the workshop leaders, and three free game design tools Gamestar Mechanic, Scratch, and Globaloria you will have the knowledge and skills to incorporate the game design strait into your lesson plans, in addition to having tutorials and examples to use as soon as you return to the classroom.
