Target: This Workshop is meant for young audiences and those not strongly versed in digital media.
Our Goal: We propose to demonstrate the process of creating a video game, from the initial concept and design to the prototyping, development, testing and debugging stage. In short, we simplify the process of game creation developing, in real-time using Unity3D and Google Docs, showing each important milestone of the process in action. To show that game-creation is not an impossible task, providing the audiences tools to begin their own journey into game creation, whether for a hobby, use on education or simple curiosity.
What will you learn: To deconstruct a game to it's more basic elements and what goes into making a game.

ROOM 2.2
10:00h - 13:00h - Workshop III - Helena Pereira - Using modern board games as a skill development tool (Register Here)**
Modern board games allow the socialization and integration of players, while promoting the development of the skills of those who play them.
All players share the same set of rules, the same starting conditions and have a common goal: to win (as a single player or as a team). Thus, games make conversations easier, even among people who do not know each other, and remove the hierarchy of everyday life and age differences, bringing people together.
We will talk about what "modern" board games are, how they can promote the development of skills and, of course, gather people around a table to play!
