Teacher application



= Applications for the 2013 Scalable Game Design Summer Institute will be accepted starting April of 2013 =

Due to popular demand and funding and space limits, seats are very limited for the 2013 Summer Institute.

Take a peek into the application process: below is the information from 2012
Please read Invitation to the 2012 Scalable Game Design Summer Institute and Teacher Participation Agreement Form before completing the application form.

You may also want to read the one page summary of the Scalable Game Design project's mission, theory, strategy, and results-to-date.

You will be asked to apply for one of the four options below.

New Participants: Option 1,  June 4 - 8


 * Introduction to Game Design &amp; Computation Science Applications in STEM
 * Requirement: First time participants only


 * Start by learning how to teach students by making games ranging from simple 1980's arcade games like Pacman, and progressing to more sophisticated games such as the Sim's using AgentSheets software. Then learn to create basic computational science models (E.G. the spread of a virus, the problem with forest fires) using AgentSheets and Excel

New Participants: Option 2,  June 4 - 10


 * Intro to Game Design &amp; Computational Science Applications in STEM &amp; Advanced 3D Game Design
 * Requirement: first time participants only


 * After mastering AgenSheets at the start of the week, learn how to create 3D shapes and worlds, and program them

Returning Participants: Option 3,  June 7 - 10


 * Computational Science Applications in STEM &amp; Advanced 3D Game Design
 * Requirement: know how to use AgentSheets


 * NEW CONTENT on STEM;applications of computational science by internationally acclaimed "Mr. Computation" and founder of Shodor, Robert Panoff, Ph.D.


 * www.newsobserver.com/2009/04/05/35432/to-reinvent-science-education.html
 * versi.edu.au/news-and-publications/enewsletter/enewsletter-15/shodor-article


 * Then, learn how to create 3D shapes and worlds, and program them using AgentCubes

Returning Participants: Option 4,  June 9 - 10


 * Advanced 3D Game Design
 * Requirement: know how to use AgentSheet, including creating computational science models using AgentSheets

APPLY NOW for the 2012 Scalable Design Summer Institute
Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance into the 2012 Scalable Game Design Summer Institute at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Spaces are limited.

We will accept as many participants as funding allows and apologize if not all applicants receive a space in the program.
