Junior School Students Showcase Coding Skills at Game Jam Event

The world is rapidly evolving, and with it, the importance of coding in modern-day society has become increasingly evident. From the apps we use daily to the games we play and the rise of artificial intelligence, coding experts are at the forefront of making these work seamlessly. 

Recently, over 40 Junior School students in Year 5 and Year 6 came together for an exciting event called 'Game Jam,' where they collaborated in teams to create environmentally themed computer games. This event provided a platform for these young minds to take their first steps towards becoming the coding experts of tomorrow.

In today's digital age, coding has become an essential skill, empowering individuals to shape the world around them. By understanding the fundamentals of coding, students gain the ability to innovate, problem-solve, and bring their creative ideas to life in the digital realm. The 'Game Jam' event not only fostered their coding skills but also nurtured their creativity and environmental awareness.

In the weeks leading up to the 'Game Jam,' the students were fortunate to receive guidance from experts at Ubisoft, a renowned gaming company responsible for popular titles such as 'Just Dance.' The expertise and mentorship provided by industry professionals added immense value to the students' learning experience. It allowed them to gain insights into the world of game development, understand the importance of teamwork, and learn about the environmental aspects they could incorporate into their creations.

During the two-day event, students showcased remarkable teamwork, resilience, and determination. They worked collaboratively, sharing creative ideas, testing their games, and solving problems together. Witnessing the synergy of so many young and creative minds was inspiring. Each team demonstrated their commitment to creating innovative games that not only entertained but also inspired positive change in the world.
