My Project

My students are dedicated video game designers with a unique focus on creating board games, blending digital precision with the tangible joy of traditional gameplay. Their enthusiasm transcends the boundaries of the digital realm, bringing a lively energy to our classroom where collaboration and innovation thrive. These aspiring creators are not just learning the intricacies of game mechanics and storytelling; they're venturing into the realm of physical games, aiming to transform digital dreams into tabletop realities that can be touched, shared, and enjoyed in a communal setting.

The introduction of the Canon imagePROGRAF TM-240 printer into our classroom is set to revolutionize their learning experience.

This printer will allow students to physically manifest their digital board game designs, offering them the unparalleled opportunity to interact with their creations beyond the screen. Such a capability is vital, as it marries the concepts of video game design with the tangible aspects of board games, providing a comprehensive learning experience that stretches their skills and understanding of what it means to be a game designer in today's diverse gaming landscape.

Our project aims to empower these future game designers to seamlessly navigate between the digital and physical worlds of gaming. The Canon imagePROGRAF TM-240 is more than just a printer; it's a bridge that connects my video game design students' digital aspirations with the physical realm, enabling them to iterate, prototype, and refine their designs in a real-world context. This process is crucial for their development, as it fosters resilience, creativity, and a deeper appreciation for the craft of game design. By giving them the tools to bring their visions to life, we're not only enhancing their education but also preparing them to innovate and inspire within the broader gaming community.
