Philadelphia Kickoff Hour of Code meets Coding and 3D Video Game Design at Northeast High

December 11, 2014

Coding and 3D Video Game Design Course

One of our Coding and 3D Video Game Design customers, Mr. Ali chose to use the Hour of Code as part of his kickoff for this year for his game course at Northeast High School in Philadelphia.

Again this year the Northeast High students will be taking part in a career simulation using the Coding and 3D Video Game Design course.

Mr. Ali has been teaching 3D Video Game Design for a number of years, and this year decided to mix things up a bit by inviting Steve Waddell, the lead developer at CTeLearning to the kickoff.

Steve spoke about coding, game design careers, entrepreneurship, design process and the power of story. We are proud to brag that Mr. Ali is running the first Coding and 3D Video Game Design course in the greater Philadelphia area.

The Northeast students are fortunate for this opportunity to get first-hand experience in coding and game design as they begin to build their portfolio and test drive this high demand STEAM career through this unique career simulation.

We are excited for Mr. Ali’s students and appreciate the invite for our own Steve to chat with the NEHS coding students. Have a great semester. – CTeLearning Staff
