 * STAGE ONE: DESIGN AND BUILD YOUR OWN EDUCATIONAL GAME**

You are required to build an educational game. Your theme can be school education like maths, history, English etc. or out of school education like netball rules, football rules, the road rules, etc. Your game has to be designed to teach someone else (eg. a Year 8 student) something. You decide what that something is.
 * the task:**

You are allowed to include other game genres in your educational game (see list below) but you are expected to develop the educational part of the game first.

As you go along building your game, as part of the evaluation you are expected to get at least one person from outside of the class to play your game and then to fill out an evaluation sheet which rates your game for both learning and interest. So be clear about what you are teaching and who your target learning person is.
 * evaluation:**

You are allowed to work in a team of two or three, or as an individual. If you are in a team make sure that each member has clearly defined tasks so that everyone can keep busy. Game Maker does allow for merging of games so it is possible for team members to work on different aspects of building the game simultaneously.
 * teams:**


 * wiki:**

Your game is to be documented in a wiki. See the home page for the expectations here.
