Lol, I'm glad you asked.The kids were thrilled by the whole process, I had fun myself that is why I didn't stop working with them when I got the new position.

GK saves the Day!! thankyou =)

Although it was spring break, the third week has been a lot smoother. I am so stoked we axed gamestarmechanic. It was a great tool for game mechanics. I had a blast learning it, creating my own games, and playing the games. I am definitely going to recommend my teens try playing and using on their own. It just always gave me a headache trying to use it at my branch. Well enough dwelling on the past. Our last workshop went fantabulastic!!!! Is that even a word?!? I am just happy my teens were… Continue
