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. I was afraid that the project was not going to be as good as the other two libraries because their teens were older. The teens did feel nervous when they got there and saw the older kids. At first they were not going to go up to present, but I guess felt a little okay when they had to talk about the game and answer questions about it befor… Continue

Week uh? 6

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 abl… Continue
