Critical thinking and problem solving skills will be gained that will lead them toward dynamic careers through a venue that they love. This self-directed curriculum software thrusts students into the fast-paced hectic world of being a "virtual" video game development intern. The inclusion of this curriculum in the technology classroom will enhance every aspect of the students education by making learning relevant to them. It is no secret students love video games, so by engaging them in something that matters to them, there is no limit to what they can learn.
