Our video game programming course teaches math and problem solving. Computer graphics is all about numbers such as point scores, X-Y coordinates, and frames per second. A child excited about graphics soon learns that math is actually useful, and wants to learn more.
Similarly, our comic storytelling workshop, makes writing relevant to kids and their peers in a way that book reports will never be. Instead of writing for the teacher, they are describing their dream worlds and showing it to their friends. Meanwhile they learn creative thinking techniques like brainstorming and taking criticism.
Most students won't become game programmers or comic artists, but in this new century, the critical skills will be mental skills like creativity and imagination, critical thinking and problem solving.
