ULERN in partnership with Algoma U in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario is offering Aboriginal Science Exchange Camps that will focus on science and technology with hands on activities. The Camps offer several workshops, one being Game Development. The Camps are for Aboriginal Students in Grades 6, 7, and 8 of the Algoma District and are free of charge with a maximum of 30 students each week. To register, please email communications@algomau.ca or call (705) 949-2301 ext. 4120.

Game Development Workshops
The computer and video game industry has a wide range of career opportunities for many skill sets. Just some of the career possibilities include art, programming, designing, writing, audio, voice acting, management, marketing, or even playing games for quality assurance. By bringing diversity behind the scenes of game production, new unique games can enter the market and influence generations.

This workshop will educate youth about the full spectrum of the game development process by guiding them through team development, concept design, and implementation. Youth will leave the workshop with a playable game they have created with a team, as well as a wide range of information about game development and ways to continue their education in arts and technology as they consider their upper level education and future career.

The remainder of this site is written for Students in Grades 6, 7, and 8.
