Game Developer Visit

Vista 5th graders have been very busy programming Scratch games in Technology class.  Recently, students were treated to a wonderful visit from Vista parent and real life game developer, John Anderson!  John prepared an awesome simulation for the students.  Each student was assigned a job (Producer, Developer, Test Manager, Game Designer, Publicist, Content Lead, UX Director, etc.) and each class worked together as a team to design, build, test, debug, advertise, and ship a game before the deadline.  This was an awesome way for students to see how the skills they have learned in tech class apply to the real world of game development!
