Game Creation, Storytelling and the Library (K-5)
Tuesday March 11, 2025 10:00am - 10:45am EDT
Room 2011
Tech curious, but also dedicated to the art of storytelling in the library? Learn ways to incorporate both computer science and game development with fundamentals of storytelling. I will make the case that a good video game depends upon a well constructed story and libraries are the place to explore both.
