create digital games

School
is out — but these secondary school students
were back in the classroom to find out all about
digital games from TP staff.

WHILE many teens were still uncertain about what to
do during the school holidays last November, 24 secondary
school students chose to enrol in a special programme
at the Temasek Information Technology School that taught
them all about digital games.
These students from Ngee Ann, North Vista and Siglap
Secondary Schools spent a week learning about the history
of games and gaming, the game business and game design
theory. The highlight of the experience was their attempts
at creating their very own digital games.
These students were among the pioneer batch of students
who completed a 45-hour programme that was part of the
Advanced Elective Modules (AEM) initiative by the Ministry
of Education. By taking an AEM, students get an opportunity
to experience and benefit from a practice-oriented approach
used in a subject at a polytechnic.
