MTHS Students Compete In A Video Game Creator Challenge

MANCHESTER – Next stop... the competition! Manchester Township High School’s (MTHS) advanced multimedia students have created 2D games for this annual contest, and they are incredible! The artistic and construction elements of each game environment – objects, textures characters, animations, gameplay effects, environmental effects, music, and sound effects, all have been painstakingly designed, and programmed, of course.

Two months of dedicated work by these young talents are now being submitted to the 2023 GameSalad Video Game Creator Challenge. During this process, students developed the knowledge and skills to creatively design and implement elements of an original gaming product. They used various multimedia editing tools and GameSalad’s interactive multimedia online development software.

Advanced projects include a scope of work that allows students to gain an in-depth understanding of content coupled with skill development (research skills, problem-solving skills, collaborative learning skills, process-oriented skills, skills associated with investigation, technology application skills etc.).

Project topics relate to students so they are motivated and engaged in their own learning, pursuing interests, questions and ideas associated with the project. One student incorporated her pet sunk Buckwheat into her game. Another student, a musician, was finalizing the musical component for his game. Through this project-based learning, students practice problem-solving in the context of “real-world” projects, which address real-world concerns and/or student interests. In the context of solving problems related to the project, students apply and integrate content in a variety of subject areas.

The intended student outcomes are to develop problem-solving strategies, to experience the connections of classroom learning to life experiences, to gain an in-depth understanding of the inter-relationships of content, to organize procedures and research that facilitate the continual building of knowledge and ideas related to the project and to develop strategies for collaborative information gathering and problem-solving. Of course, a successfully implemented gaming product is also a desirable outcome. They can’t wait to see the fi nal game submissions and are keeping our fi ngers crossed for some winning games from MTHS!
