Video: Teaching rapid prototyping through creating a game a week

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/video-teaching-rapid-prototyping-through-creating-a-game-a-week.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>In this GDC 2018 talk, game developers and professors Douglas Wilson and Bennett Foddy present a close look at the “Game a Week” model of game education and discuss the challenges involved in successfully running such a class.</p>
<p>Inspired by the Experimental Gameplay Project, Foddy and Wilson discuss how they’ve been teaching two versions of a class in which students (working alone or in pairs) make a digital game every week of the semester.</p>
<p>The two also go over the results this method has produced: a body of critically successful prototypes as well as students who have rapidly improved in terms of technical competence, design flexibility, and creative vision.</p>
<p>It’s an informative talk that’s definitely worth watching, so developers shouldn’t miss the opportunity to do so now that it’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O9Q8OVWrFA">freely available on the official GDC YouTube channel!</a></p>
