OGPC 3.0
The TechStart Education Foundation, in affiliation with the Oregon University System, is proud to host the Oregon Game Project Challenge (OGPC 3.0) for its third year at Chemeketa Community College on Saturday, May 1, 2010 (details). Last year I was a judge for OGPC 2.0 and found it to be a very rewarding experience; so rewarding that I’d like to ask you to consider joining me in being a judge for this 2010 event.
Last year 41 middle and high school student teams created computer games specifically designed to be fun, challenging and innovative. Teams competed from around the state of Oregon and Southwest Washington for trophies and prizes. We expect this year to be the biggest OGPC yet! We also expect it to be the most exciting and rewarding for students: New this year we’ll be allowing students to create games using any platform of their choice in addition to Game Maker! (Can you say XNA!)
In order to make this a valuable experience for the students involved, we need over 50 volunteer judges to spend the day reviewing and scoring the teams and their projects. Please rejoin me this year by being a judge and by helping to recruit some of your colleagues to join in on the fun and to share this rewarding experience with us. To register to be a judge for this year’s OGPC please send your name and e-mail address to Mark Lawler (mark.lawler@comcast.net). The students and I look forward to seeing you there!
