The Department of Education, Victoria (DET), Microsoft and ACMI are proud to announce the Victorian Schools Games and Apps Challenge.small logoPicture2

This exciting challenge provides an opportunity for students in Years 6, 8 and 10 to design, develop and pitch a game or app to Microsoft to solve a problem they believe needs solving.

The challenge brings the new Victorian curriculum to life.  By bringing together Digital Technologies and Critical and Creative Thinking, teachers can empower their students to become discerning and creative problem solvers.

The Challenge asks students to identify a problem, conduct research, analyse data, and use this information to design and code a prototype Game or App that offers a solution.

Entries for the Victorian Schools Games and Apps Challenge close on Friday 14 October 2016.
