Student Outcome
Students are immediately attracted and engaged with video games. The fastest-growing segment of the
entertainment market, computer and video games are expected to surpass movie box-office revenues by
2007. From script writers and software engineers to music composers and animators, there is a great need
for creative, talented, and educated individuals in this fun and fast-paced profession. Game companies
are looking for more women to join the development ranks as recent statistics show that over 40% of
game players are female. But this industry isn’t all fun and games; valuable simulations in the medical,
military, aerospace, and many other fields use video game technologies in life-saving applications.
Strategic Importance
To make the curriculum easy to implement, all the necessary knowledge and skills in programming
and creating video games are delivered through totally interactive software. Through text, pictures,
animations, and digital video, students are led through the exciting world of video game design. Due
to the highly interactive and self-directed nature of our curriculum, each student is allowed to find their
own pace. Regardless of the learner’s motivation or learning style, students will find a new level of
success with our curriculum.
Teaching Principles
This curriculum was designed to support state assessments by addressing national math, language,
science, and technology standards.
