Game Club
w00t
This club, four years old, attracts students who want to hang out socially and play E or T-rated games. Students in the game design and development classes share their games with other students and get them tested by club members. This is key as this part of the normal business cycle for anyone working in the gaming industry. Students in this club do learn about the different professions in the gaming industry and they are given unique opportunities to learn about things that are relevant to the industry but not in any textbook.
Members of this club and members of the Computer Programming Club joined together and entered in the Global Game Jam competition. This was an exciting time for Sherwood. This was the third time in a row for me as a teacher to mentor a winning team!
Members of the game design classes tend to find this as an attractive club. Membership is open enrollment every year. If you are interested, we meet bi-weekly on Thursdays after school from 2:15 to 4PM in room A107. Mr John Way is the sponsor of this club.
Club members constructed this contract that they expect every club member and their parents to read and sign in order to establish membership to this club. A copy of this is available here for you to download, read, print and sign (make sure to include your parents), and you can bring it to your first meeting. This contract must be updated yearly, so every member must submit and updated contract for the 2011-2012 school year.
The elected leadership for the 2011-2012 school year are:
- Craig Weiss, President
- Ryan King, Vice President
- Peter Kirk, Secretary
- Tyler Patton, Treasurer (re-elected from the 2010-2011)
