Game Studies and Informatics Part B classes

Game Studies and Informatics have two classes left with seats for Part B classes.

Makerspaces: made for learning is a fun, hands on class that will provide a break from reading and writing based classes at the end of the school year. And AI systems in games is a perfect 1 credit class to introduce the Game Studies program.

INFO 490 SBU/SBGPOTB Section title: Makerspaces: Made for Learning     2 credits 

Tuesday and Thursday, 2:00 – 3:30 pm    

 This course is an exploration of the history and function of community and education-oriented makerspaces. Students in this section will evaluate emergent makerspace curricula for learning in formal environments, like schools, as well as informal settings, like libraries. The students’ coursework will culminate in a final project that will involve the development of a makerspace workshop activity that will be a part of a community event. In preparation for this final project, students will be familiarized with several methods of teaching and learning rapid prototyping and iterative design techniques. This will include a variety of low/no-tech projects and computer-driven tools, such as e-textiles, 3D printing, electronic cutting and small board electronics.
