This isn’t what I did . . .

This isn’t either.

Or this.

This is the game that knocked Angry Birds out of the Number One spot in the Apple App store.

And this is the Robert Nay, who created the game.He was 14 at the time.

This is Zora Ball. She’s the world’s youngest game designer.She’s seven.(She lives in Pittsburgh.)

This is the result of one of my assignments.

And this is what I had after four days of work. It’s not much.In fact, it’s called “Lame Game”. It’s supposed to help 4th graders practice their basic math fact.

THE CHALLENGE!•The assignment for the students is to use

Stencyl and develop a math game to practice math facts that you would like to play—otherwise you’re stuck with Lame Game.

•Even better—they should develop a game that their classmates would like to play.

•Collaboration is encouraged!!
