Students Learn Math through Student Created Video Games

This semester eleven students volunteered to design and develop a video game for our BHS Algebra students. The game was created by Mr. Gluck’s Computer Technology students. In Computer Technology students learn programming, de-sign, and problem solving skills through video game creation. The students spent their free time during and after school utilizing all of the skills they learned in class to produce an educational game. They collaborated with Mr. Lyons, Mr. Gluck, and each other to create a game based on quadratics. The game takes students through several stages where they must defend a castle by manipulating formulas and answering questions while monsters advance. Everything in the game, including sounds and animations, are original and were created by BHS students in a four week time span.
