Students will identify some core STEM concepts that go into the design of video games and explain the relevance of video gaming to various careers within the games industry and beyond. They will also analyze vocabulary and techniques related to the creation of video games, and develop a web-based or paper-based video game in accordance with the National STEM Video Game Challenge guidelines.
