Jorja B, Lilly F and Matilda W of Year 8 dedicated their time and efforts to creating a video game to compete in the Australian STEM Video Game Challenge. They needed to embed the theme “Journey” and design all the sprites, tiles and backgrounds as well as the music. Team was essential, taking responsibility, meeting deadlines, and communication were key to finishing. The group made it through to the second round and received excellent feedback to support their growth and development. Coding the game was shared by all, and they unlocked some very cool ways to achieve the effects they wanted.

Here is a link to their game crushing life!

“It has been a great experience, and from it, we have all gotten closer to each other, even though there were hard moments. This game taught us so many skills on how to code and how to solve the issues. I am so grateful that we were given this opportunity.” – Lilly

“This experience was amazing but also stressful. I had a great time working with Lilly and Matilda to create this wonderful game. I learnt how to go into depths of coding and detailing everything that happened. We had lots of issues but were able to solve them.”  – Jorja
