Course Title: Northumberland Games Project

The Northumberland Games Project has run for some years and has encouraged many pupils to produce their own PC games, as well as investigate financial modelling and design packaging for their projects. In the past we have been able to provide some Games Industry links to provide a real market context for the pupils efforts - it is hoped to develop this approach further.

This course is intended for school who have run a games project before or those who wish to undertake a project for the first time.

The course will look at:

• Games design and production - Control

• Financial modelling - Spreadsheets

• Packaging and advertising - DTP

As such, the project is an ideal ICT cross-disciplinary project, very engaging for pupils and equally suitable for both genders and all ability ranges. The project can also be used as a method of providing G&T provision.

 Participants will receive a CD of resources to take away from the course.
