Dear all,
I’m glad to announce a “Making games for libraries” event in Leeds on 10th December.
The day will be primarily practical, giving people a chance to design and prototype games for their libraries, particularly around the teaching of information literacy skills. There will be sample games to play, lots of game making materials, and an information literacy game (SEEK! - http://www.indiegogo.com/infolit-games) to take away for every attendee. Definitely something different to put in your Chartership portfolio :)
Cost is £50 per attendee, through the booking form at http://infolit-games.eventbrite.co.uk/
A draft programme follows, this is subject to change:
09:30-10:00 Registration
10:00-10:15 Introduction
10: 15-10:30 Game playing
10:30-11:00 Presentation (about games vs play and some game ideas to start things off)
11:00-11:15 “Play” exercise
11:15-11:30 Tea / coffee
11:30 to 12:30 Game making (decide on problem, decide on game approach.)
12:30 to 13:00 Feedback from groups - chance for input from other groups.
13:00 to 14:00 Lunch
14:00 to 15:30 Game making (creating prototypes using provided materials)

If you can’t make it, but are interested in games for libraries, please take a look at my Indiegogo campaign (http://www.indiegogo.com/infolit-games) to create SEEK! and think about contributing ☺
Regards,
Andrew
