[game_edu] K-12 Game Education

[Gillian Smith]

Hi Suzanne,

I teach game design and programming in a summer outreach program for
9th - 12th graders. It lasts a month, and we focus on teaching them
how to design and create their own games (2D) over the course of a
month. Many of them have no programming experience, so we teach them
all of that too.

Some details are available at our website http://www.p4games.org/ . We have hosted weeklong summer camps for high schoolers on our campus in the past, and are now more focused on teaching the teachers. Thanks for thinking about this sector too.
