Thank you for your generous support of our Game Tech programs.
As reported in the Fall, both our Toronto Kiwanis Club and East Scarborough Club began their Game Tech programs for another year. Two new Clubs were recently added to host the program – Whitehorse and Local des Jeunes des Jardins Fleuris. These new Clubs are just getting their programs off the ground.
The children and youth participating in the Toronto Kiwanis and East Scarborough programs are currently in the middle-end stage of developing their games. They have successfully incorporated the ability to combine visual basics with computer programming, and they have come a long way in adding great detail to their games (such as hills, clouds, darkness, etc.).
Game Tech has been a great success so far this year, and continues to be one of the most popular programs offered at the Clubs. The members challenge each other to be even more creative, and are very interested to see everyone’s final results.
The facilitator at the Toronto Kiwanis Club said: “The class takes on a life of its own – the further we get into the program, the less direction I need to provide. I incorporate the kids’ ideas into the weekly lessons and challenges. It’s great fun.”.
Your support of this program allows our young members to gain valuable skills they would not otherwise have learned – opening doors to new opportunities and experiences.
We look forward to updating you on the continued progress of the program in the weeks ahead.
